Resume template for Truck Driver
A truck driver CV is read for license classes, accident-free record, route experience (national, EU, long-haul), and tachograph compliance. Logistics dispatchers want to see exactly what you can drive, where you have driven, and any specialty endorsements (ADR for hazardous goods, refrigerated transport, tankers). Keep it concise, list licenses and dates clearly, and mention any digital tools you have worked with (route-planning, fleet telematics).
A minimal layout works best — dispatchers want to see license classes, route experience, and accident record without visual distractions.

Frequently asked questions
How important is the ADR endorsement?
Very, if the role involves chemical or fuel transport — it is a hard filter and pays better.
Should I list every truck model I have driven?
No — list license classes. Brand and model is usually irrelevant.
What about points on my license?
Major points usually need to be disclosed when asked. On the CV itself, focus on the positive (accident-free km, clean record where applicable).
