How would you describe being a truck driver on a resume?

The profile summary is the first place to introduce yourself as a truck driver. In one to three sentences, touch on who you are as a candidate and what you bring to the table.

For example, "Hard-working CDL-A truck driver with proven vehicle maintenance and problem-solving skills. Performed physically demanding work in a previous role as dump-truck-driver."

Next, you're going to want to elaborate on your specific experiences as a truck driver. Like the profile summary, you'll want to convey your experience using real-world examples and achievements and quantifiable measurements of success.

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."

If you are just starting your career as a truck driver, you can focus on your training and certification to highlight your skills and qualifications. Also, include any relevant jobs you have had, such as a Uber driver or valet.
