A preview only. Nothing is saved.

Driver resumes are screened on the licence before anything else, then on the record and the route. A recruiter wants the licence class, a clean driving record, the vehicle size you drive, stops a day, on-time and proof-of-delivery rates, and daily vehicle checks. This example puts each of those where a dispatcher looks.

Why each choice was made

  1. Why the licence sits in its own section

    Driving jobs filter on licence class and record first. A Certifications section with the class and issuer lets a reader and a search tool confirm it in seconds.

  2. Why stops and on-time rate share a bullet

    More stops a day means little if half arrive late. Pairing route volume with on-time and failed-delivery rates shows the speed is real.

  3. Why safety has numbers too

    "Safe driver" is something every applicant writes. Years accident-free and checks completed are what a fleet manager and an insurer care about.
