What should I put on a driver resume?
State your licence class (C, LR, MR, HR, HC) and clean driving record near the top, then your experience, the vehicle types you have driven, and skills like route planning, manual handling and customer service. List extra tickets such as forklift or dangerous goods.
Can I get a driving job with no experience?
Yes, for many delivery and courier roles. A current licence and clean record are the main requirements. Highlight reliability, local knowledge, customer service and any experience driving for work, even casually, plus your availability.
What licence do I need for a truck driving job?
It depends on the vehicle. A car licence (C) covers many delivery and van roles, while rigid and articulated trucks need LR, MR, HR or HC licences. List exactly which licence class you hold so employers can match you to the role.
