A truck driver résumé example, and the units a checker can read

One complete HGV driver résumé, written out in full. The person is invented. The reading and the score come from the product itself.

— licence, cpc, clean record. then the runs.

The hgv driver example résumé drawn as a complete page in the Nexus design: name, summary, the roles with their bullet lines, education and a skills row
The example below, drawn by the builder's own renderer in the Nexus design. The picture was taken by pressing this page's own Use this example door and photographing what the editor rendered.

A driving application is decided on three lines and a clean record, and everything else on the page is there to make those three believable. This example is written out in full so you can read them, then put through the tools here so you can see what software counts and what it quietly does not. The candidate is invented. The person does not exist, neither employer exists, and every figure was chosen to demonstrate a shape.

Licence, CPC, record

Three certifications with years: the Class 1 entitlement, a current CPC with its hours, and ADR for packages. A transport manager sorts a pile of applications on those alone, and the sort happens before anybody reads about the runs.

The record is the fourth line and it sits in the experience: a clean licence and no reportable incident across seven years, with no tachograph infringements over 240 tramping nights a year. Those are checkable facts about behaviour, which is what an insurer is actually pricing.

An honest note about the units

This page is a good place to be plain about a limit in our own checker. The measurable-evidence rule reads percentages, money, durations and a list of units that includes sites, shifts, orders, staff, cases and calls. Distance and weight are not on that list, so a line about 92 000 km a year or nine tonnes a shift is counted as an action-led achievement and not as measurable evidence.

The answer is to write both kinds of line rather than to drop the kilometres. A transport manager reads distance as the clearest statement of what you have actually done. The example keeps it and adds an on-time percentage and a fuel saving, which gives the same page something for both readers. Our ATS checker shows you exactly which of your lines it counted, so this is visible on your own document rather than a matter of trust.

What the reading found

The door below hands the document to the résumé builder as plain text, through the same import an uploaded file goes through, and the review shows every field beside the line it came from. Here the completeness pass found four readable sections, 126 words of experience evidence and ten distinct skills, with all three licences stored as certifications.

The Conxfolio import review after the door opened, showing Oyelaran Fitzmaurice's example read into fields beside the rendered page, with the line saying it is an example
The real import review, opened by this page's own door. It names Oyelaran Fitzmaurice as invented before anything is saved, and it shows every field beside the line it came from.

No language model is involved anywhere in that path, and nothing on the page is rewritten. A reader that cannot place a line asks about it instead of moving it.

What the checker scored it

The same import review on a 390 pixel phone screen, with the example notice above the accept button
The same door on a phone. Nothing is withheld on the small screen: the notice, the reading and the accept button are all there.

Ninety-seven out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% + 100 × 30% + 92 × 40% = 97, explained in the article on the score. Nine action-led lines, three of them measurable by the rule above, nine lines of depth and 210 readable words against a band opening at 250.

Before the on-time and fuel lines were added, the same document scored 92: the measurable-evidence rule found one line and awarded 12 of its 25 points. Two sentences moved it five points, and neither of them was invented. That is the whole argument for writing the numbers you already have.

What this example leaves off

No photograph, no list of every vehicle model driven, and no reference details. A transport manager assumes you can drive the fleet they run, and the licence category is the part that answers the question.

Penalty points are left off the page. They belong on the application form and at the licence check, where the process handles them properly, and a résumé is not the place to open a subject that has its own procedure. Leaving them off is not hiding them; every haulier checks.

What to change for your own

Change the work first. Trunking, multi-drop, tipper, tanker, car transporter and agency work are different jobs with different evidence, and a transport manager will read the difference immediately. Then put in your own licence detail, your CPC date, and the record.

Keep the walkaround and defect line if you have one, because it says you report problems rather than driving past them. The guide on certifications covers placement and years. The design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the warehouse example, the receptionist example and the HR manager example show the same structure elsewhere.

Questions

Is this a real driver
No. The person is invented for this page, and so are Wrentham Haulage and Moorcrest Foods. Every figure was written to show a shape.
What goes above the experience
Licence class, CPC currency and any ADR, each with a year. A transport manager sorts applications on those three before reading a word about the runs.
Does the checker count kilometres and tonnes
No, and this page is the reason to say so plainly. The measurable-evidence rule reads percentages, money, time and a list of units such as sites, shifts, orders and staff. Distance and weight are not on that list today, so a line about 92 000 km a year is read as an achievement without measurable evidence.
So how should a driver write the evidence
Keep the kilometres, because a transport manager reads them, and add at least two lines the rule can also read: an on-time percentage, a fuel saving, an infringement count over a period. The example does both.
What did the checker score it
97 out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points, which is readable volume at 210 words against a band opening at 250.
Which design is this rendered in
Nexus, one of the 21 ATS-safe layouts out of 37. It is a compact single column, which suits a page that is mostly licence detail and route history.

Conxfolio is a free set of four career tools: a résumé builder with 37 rendered layouts, an ATS résumé checker that prints its own arithmetic, a cover letter builder that traces every proof paragraph back to the line it came from, and a portfolio builder with 20 authored designs. There is no account to create, nothing is held back for a paid plan, and no language model is used anywhere in the product, so the readers, the score and the letter are deterministic code you can check.
