Let's build the ultimate professional driver resume

If you're doing any open deck work you could use "compliant, proficient and trained in load securement"

 

Since when do you need resume to drive a trk,lol.Companies treat us like complete imbisols.I spose for a hard to get hired company a resume would work.But for any of these major online carriers.They could care less about a resume.

 

I suspect that the OP isn't applying @ Swift, CRST or CRE and the potential employer looks harder at applicants than just the cursory pulse and fart check.

 

lmaooooooooooooooooo

 

I'll be laughing about that all day tomorrow,lmaooooooooooooo

 

Glad I could make your day pattyj!

 

Don't be counting them chickens just yet amigo. I answered an ad for a major oil co driver some years back...and I brought my best and listed all accomplishments with a pro resume.

They rejected me for being over qualified for having some schooling behind me. Said they were looking for a "career driver" and felt i would bid out of the dept and cost them money. ( no sheet ) Thanks George, I appreciate the confidence.

I say hold your cards high and tell them what they want to hear.

was "imbisols" intentional? if so, you are my new best friend, rofl.

 

I started sending cover letters and resumes before my discharge from the U.S. Army in 1967. I received courteous rejection letters from all of the larger carriers due to my lack of experience. The Missouri Truck and Bus Association mentioned me in their monthly news letter and I landed my first driving job with a manufacturer, as a result of my letter writing campaign.

Generally, resumes have more effect with private carriers and smaller companies. These companies may be looking for a driver who is promotable.

I just now looked through my scrap book. I have the usual awards and letters of commendation, but did not save a copy of my earlier cover letters. Perhaps, I did not believe them myself. There is no substitute for experience and the ability to perform on a road test.
