A free 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.

The example below, drawn by the builder's own renderer in the Ledger 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.

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, and how they changed

This page is a good place to be plain about a limit our own checker used to have. The measurable-evidence rule reads percentages, money, durations and a list of countable units. Until 2026-09-13 that list had been written from desk work alone, so a line about 92 000 km a year or nine tonnes a shift was counted as an action-led achievement carrying no measurable evidence. The list was rewritten on that date and it now carries km, miles, tonnes, litres, pallets, vehicles, routes, deliveries, shipments and consignments, along with the units hospitality, care work and the back office count in.

Writing both kinds of line is still the sounder habit. A transport manager reads distance as the clearest statement of what you have actually done, and a rate travels further than a unit a reader outside the trade has to translate. The example keeps the kilometres and adds an on-time figure of 99.2% on 1 400 scheduled collections and a fuel saving of 8% on the night trunk, which gives the same page something for both readers. Our ATS checker shows you which of your lines it counted, so this is visible on your own document rather than a matter of trust.

Skills for a truck driver résumé, grouped

Oyelaran's skills group into driving, compliance and load. Driving: articulated trunking, multi-drop delivery, route planning. Compliance: digital tachograph, walkaround checks, defect reporting. Load: load securing, chilled distribution, curtain-side and double-deck trailers. A transport manager checks compliance before anything else, so that group earns its own line.

The licence, the CPC hours and any ADR endorsement stay in certifications, with dates, because operators check expiry. Group the rest in the builder the way your work is organised: trunking, multi-drop, tipper or tanker.

From delivery driver to Class 1

A delivery driver's résumé proves reliability: drops a day, delivery windows kept, vans returned without damage. The Moorcrest years start there. Class 2 adds the heavier vehicle and the record behind it. Class 1 adds articulated work, longer runs and the trailers you can handle.

For trainer or transport roles, add the drivers you assessed and the incidents your checks prevented. Keep the record line honest and specific at every level, because a clean record with dates is worth more than any adjective. The guide on how far back to go helps with long careers behind the wheel.

How it reads and scores

The import review reads 3 roles, 1 degree and 10 skills before anything reaches the editor. The ATS checker scored it 98 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with achievement quality 2 points short and readable volume 2 points short. The writing check scored it 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied, and the five it withheld are one rule: bullet tense. The method behind these numbers is written up once, in how our examples are made and checked.

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
It does now, and this page is the reason to say how that changed. The measurable-evidence rule reads percentages, money, time and a list of countable units. Until 2026-09-13 that list was written from desk work and carried no distance or weight, so a line about 92 000 km a year was read as an achievement without measurable evidence. The list was rewritten on that date and it now carries km, miles, tonnes, litres, pallets, vehicles, routes, deliveries, shipments and consignments.
So how should a driver write the evidence
Keep the kilometres, because a transport manager reads them first, and add lines a reader outside the trade can also weigh: an on-time rate, a fuel saving, an infringement count over a period. The example does both.
What did the checker score it
98 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with achievement quality 2 points short and readable volume 2 points short. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% for parseability + 100 × 30% for completeness + 96 × 40% for content, on three dated roles, fifteen action-led lines and 445 readable words. The writing check scored it 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied.
Which design is this rendered in
Ledger, one of the 24 ATS-safe layouts out of 37, and one of the eight chosen on 2026-09-14 from a measurement of every layout's own export. It dates the roles in 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 22 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.
