How do you describe a driver position on a resume?

Question

Zippia Team · Accepted Answer

You describe a driver position on a resume in different ways depending on the type of driver position. You want to include specifics related to what and how you drove and provide specific examples of your experiences as a driver. When possible, you want to highlight any achievements and skills you have developed along the way.

In the experience section of the resume, you list the company name, position title, and years employed. Then provide 3 to 6 bullet points that describe your responsibilities and achievements.

When figuring out what to include in this section, we recommend reviewing the job description to determine if there are any skills they touch on that you have experience with.

We recommend starting with an action verb (e.g., operated, delivered, navigated, maintained) and providing hard numbers to support your statement.

For example, "Drove an average 4,500 miles/week as certified CDL-A OTR Driver. Delivered to schedule 98% of the time with 99% customer satisfaction." Or, "Demonstrated strong work ethic resulting in 10 management commendations. Frequently worked overtime to assist with unforeseen customer challenges."
