Delivery Driver CV example
A free example, with real achievement bullets and the skills recruiters look for
Delivery Driver CVs are checked against licence category first — since it's a hard eligibility filter — and then against a safety record and on-time figure that prove reliability on the road.
What recruiters look for on a Delivery Driver CV
- Licence category stated explicitly — B, C1, HGV Class 1/2 — since it's checked before anything else.
- A safety record — years without an at-fault accident, points if relevant — stated plainly.
- Drops or volume per shift, to show the pace of route worked.
- Familiarity with routing or proof-of-delivery apps, which most delivery operations now run on.
Example achievement bullets
These are the kind of specific, quantified bullets worth building your own experience section around — adapt the structure (action → scope → result), not the exact wording, to your own background:
Good example bulletCompleted an average of 90 multi-drop deliveries per shift across a metropolitan route, maintaining a zero-at-fault-accident record over 4 years.
Good example bulletConsistently ranked in the top 10% for on-time delivery rate company-wide, using route-planning software to adjust for traffic and access restrictions in real time.
