Fictional example for illustration — names, employers and numbers are invented, but every bullet follows the honest formula: action + scope + verifiable result. Never copy claims you can't defend in an interview.
License, endorsements, miles, record
CDL class, endorsement letters, accident-free miles and MVR status are the whole first screen — put all four above your work history.
Safety numbers are hire/no-hire
Preventables, violations and DOT inspection results feed straight into a carrier’s insurance rates. State yours plainly; vague resumes read as hiding something.
On-time rate proves the job
Freight is a service-level business. An on-time percentage with load volume ("99.2% across 480 loads/year") is the strongest line a driver can write.
