For HGV drivers, the licence categories, the driver card and the Driver CPC are decisive in the CV. Present these details prominently and in full, because hauliers first check whether you meet the formal requirements for the advertised role.
In addition, experience with particular vehicle and route types as well as reliability count. State whether you have worked in local or long-distance haulage, whether you have experience with dangerous goods (ADR), refrigerated transport or special loads, and emphasise an accident-free, punctual driving record.
Most important are your licence categories, your valid driver card and the Driver CPC. These details should be visible straight away.
Name all categories you hold, such as C and C+E, as well as the Driver CPC. Add extra qualifications such as ADR or a forklift licence.
Yes, state whether you have driven in local or long-distance haulage and which types of load you have carried. This lets the employer see immediately whether you fit the role.
