How to write a driver’s cover letter

When applying for a driver position, your cover letter is an opportunity for you to tell your story, without being stuck in the formatting constraints of the resume. The best format for writing a cover letter is as follows:

• Address the employer with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient).” If you do not know the recipient’s name, you can refer to them as the hiring manager.

• The next step is to state the position you are applying for and how you found the opening. 

• Make a brief statement about why you’re interested in the position. Write a paragraph about why you are the perfect candidate for the job.

• State your skills and work experience. Ensure your skills and experiences are similar to the job position. When highlighting skills, provide the accomplishment you have achieved. 

• Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement. For example, “I look forward to discussing the position with you further.”

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to be applying for the opportunity to become a Driver for Centurion Limousine Corp. Throughout my experience as a driver for various firms and in various capacities, I have come to see how rewarding it can be to drive individuals to places where they need to be. Interesting people from all walks of life have entered into my car over the years and I enjoy making conversation with them on the way to their destinations or giving them their privacy and discretion when they prefer. Customers regard me as friendly, helpful, professional and committed to giving them a safe, relaxing and smooth ride.

Throughout my career, I have worked as a driver for a wide variety of companies and organizations and driven a wide assortment of vehicles. I am able to drive cars, limousines, trucks and motorcycles all with equal facility and skill. I have every level of commercial driver’s license. When working as a truck driver for Foundry Trucking Corp., I transported cargo for long distances with the professionalism to always arrive on time. I have also worked as a Driving Instructor at Flagship Driving School, so I am intimately familiar with safety and the rules of the road. I strive to make a trip as pleasant and relaxing as possible for a passenger.

In addition to my prosecutorial work, I have spent time interning with our state’s legal aid foundation, and I became interested in the Innocence Project while in law school and still devote time to help file motions or prepare briefs. Due to my work on behalf of defendants, I think that I am even more dedicated to justice. I want to be sure that the innocent are not deprived of their rights and that the guilty receive a just sentence. That sense of duty and respect for the law is what drives my work as an attorney.

I believe that I would be an excellent addition to the team of drivers at Centurion, and I look forward to bringing my professionalism, courtesy and commitment to service to your company. As we progress further along in the hiring process, it is my hope that I will be able to demonstrate my skills to you and Centurion’s customers. I look forward to discussing this with you further.

Sincerely,

Hector Silva”

Dear Chris Christianson,

If you’re looking for a responsible and experienced Driver to join your team, then you’ve found your person. I’ve been driving a taxi in this city for more than a decade and not only know all of the roads, but I understand the ebbs and flows of traffic and am adept at navigating quickly and safely.

I realize your company is not a taxi company and you’re looking for a delivery driver. I’m excited about making this change in my career and looking forward to embracing new challenges. If you get to know me, I think you’ll see that my experience, attitude, and enthusiasm make me a great driver and a good addition to your team.

I began working as a Taxi Driver after graduating high school. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this career, but I feel it’s time for a change. I’ve been looking to get into delivery driving for some time and have earned the following qualifications in preparation for this career move.

I have a clean and valid driver’s license

Chauffeur’s license

Completed driver training programs at Plymouth Driving School

Class C Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)

I’m very familiar with Acme Deliveries and know that your company culture and policies will be a fit for my professional goals.

Beyond that, I think you’ll find that my flexibility, knowledge of the city and traffic, and my desire to make this career change will make me an ideal hire for your company.

I believe I’m more than qualified, and I’m always willing to learn more.

Thank you for taking the time to read my cover letter. My resume is attached, and you can contact me if you have any additional requests or questions. I’d be happy to meet at your convenience to further discuss my qualifications.
