Transport companies hire quickly, and they read a driver's CV in seconds. They want to know four things: your licence categories, your experience on similar routes, your documents, and when you can start.
1. Licence categories first
List every category exactly as it appears on your licence — for example C, CE. Our Road template prints them large next to your name so they are seen first.
2. Driver qualifications
In the EU, professional drivers usually need a Certificate of Professional Competence (Code 95) and a digital tachograph card. If you do not have them yet, say so honestly and add “ready to obtain with employer support”. Add ADR if you can carry dangerous goods.
3. Experience that matches the job
- Type of vehicle and weight (for example articulated truck up to 40 t)
- Type of loads (refrigerated, containers, tankers, general cargo)
- Routes and countries you drove in
- Your safety record — no accidents, clean licence
Our phrase library has ready-made lines for truck, bus and delivery drivers you can tick and edit.
4. Availability and documents
Add your earliest start date, whether you need a work permit, and your passport's expiry month. Recruiters use these to plan visas and start dates. We never ask for your passport number.
