Driver CV Sample — Free Word & PDF Template

A driver CV is checked for licence class, route experience, and safety record. Employers want to know what you can drive, where you have driven, and whether your record is clean.

This sample is written for a heavy vehicle driver in Rawalpindi. It keeps the licence class and route types at the top, then gives two roles with trip counts and a safety record. Replace the fictional details and keep the numbers honest.

What a Driver CV should show

• Licence class: LTV, HTV, or both, with the year issued.
• Vehicle types: truck, bus, van, loader, or delivery bike.
• Route experience: local, intercity, or specific corridors.
• Safety record, including accident-free years and cargo claims.
• Pre-trip checks and basic maintenance you can perform.
• Load securing and paperwork experience for cargo roles.

Skills and keywords to include

Use the words employers search for, but only where they are true. The list below matches the sample; delete anything you cannot demonstrate in an interview or a skills test.

• HTV and LTV driving — licence class and years of experience.
• Route planning — city routes, intercity corridors, and fuel stops.
• Pre-trip inspection — tyres, brakes, lights, oil, and coolant.
• Load securing — straps, weight limits, and delivery notes.
• Defensive driving — following distance and hazard awareness.
• Logbook and paperwork — trip records and fuel receipts.
• Basic maintenance — tyre changes and minor roadside repairs.

How to use this Driver CV sample

1. Download the Word sample and replace the driver's name, licence class, and routes.
2. Put the licence class and years of experience in the first line of the profile.
3. Name the routes and vehicle types. Driving experience is too vague for a fleet supervisor.
4. Keep the CV to one page. Do not include your CNIC or licence number on a public CV; provide them after shortlisting.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Leaving out the licence class, which is the first thing an employer checks.
• Claiming a clean record when there is an accident on it; honesty matters in a safety role.
• Writing only driving with no route, vehicle, or load type.
• Publishing CNIC, licence, or home address details on a public CV.
• Using a decorative template that is hard to read on a phone.

CV format notes for Driver jobs

Length: one page. A fleet supervisor should be able to see the licence, routes, and record without scrolling.

Tone: plain and factual. Name the vehicle, the route, and the record; avoid describing yourself as hardworking.

Order: profile, experience, skills, certifications, education. The licence class belongs in the first sentence.

File: send a PDF named Firstname-Lastname-Driver.pdf. Do not put CNIC or licence numbers in the file you share publicly.

Why this Driver CV sample works

• The profile states the licence, the route type, and the safety record immediately.
• Trip count and route names tell a fleet supervisor what the driver has actually done.
• Pre-trip checks and load securing are listed as skills, not duties.
• The second role shows local delivery before the move to long-distance work.
• The simple layout prints cleanly and is easy to read on a phone.

A note on the sample: the person, employers, and results are fictional and exist to show the structure. Replace every detail with your own before sending the CV. We do not publish invented salary data, hiring statistics, or success rates.
