The Hiring Manager
XXXX Couriers
Brisbane, QLD
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the Delivery Driver position at XXXX Couriers. I hold a current driver's licence with a clean record and have a strong track record of safe, on-time deliveries.
In my recent delivery work I completed multi-drop runs, planned efficient routes, and kept customers updated, while loading and unloading goods using safe manual handling and completing proof-of-delivery records. I carry out vehicle pre-start checks, manage my fatigue, and take pride in presenting well and representing the business professionally.
I would welcome the opportunity to bring my reliability and safe-driving record to your team. My resume is attached, and I am available to start soon and happy to discuss my application. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kind regards,
David Singh

What should a driver cover letter include?
Put your licence class (C, LR, MR, HR or HC) and a clean driving record in the first paragraph, because that is what employers screen for first. Then cover the vehicle types you have driven, your safety habits such as pre-start checks and fatigue management, and any extra tickets like forklift or dangerous goods. Finish with your availability.
Can I get a driving job with no experience?
For many delivery and courier roles, yes. A current licence and a clean record are the main requirements. Highlight reliability, local knowledge and customer service, since most delivery work is as much about the customer as the driving. Any driving you have done for work, even casually, is worth including.
What licence do I need for a truck driving job in Australia?
It depends on the vehicle. A car licence (C) covers most van and small delivery roles. Rigid trucks generally need LR, MR or HR depending on weight and axles, and articulated vehicles need HC or MC. State exactly which class you hold, since employers match applicants directly against the class in the ad.
