Evergreen has no photo and a deep band of color across the top.

A made-up resume. The person, the employers and every number are invented, and any resemblance to a real one is chance.

Why this example works

Drops a day and the first-attempt rate tell a depot manager how busy the round is and how well the driver keeps to it.
Daily van checks reported to the transport office show care for the vehicle and a habit that protects the business.
Scanning and proof of delivery come with a result, missing-parcel claims down from about four a month to one, which shows the habit has value.
The warehouse job shows the driver knows loading from both ends, and the move into driving shows trust in timekeeping.

How to write your own delivery driver resume

Give the number of drops or stops in a day and the type of vehicle or round.
Use a first-attempt or on-time rate if you know it, and say how you earned it.
Describe your vehicle checks in one line, because depots take them seriously.
Mention the handheld scanner, route app or proof of delivery method you use.
Put your license type, with any safety or handling courses, where it is easy to find.
If you worked in a warehouse or shop first, keep it and show the step toward driving.

Common questions

What do I put on a driver resume if I have only driven for myself?

Describe the vehicle, the distances and the loads, then add any courses. Say plainly that it was unpaid or family driving and focus on safe, reliable habits.

Should I mention points or a clean license?

If your license is clean, say so: "Full category B license, no penalty points". If you have points, give the number when asked; many firms accept a few, though their insurers may set a limit.

How do I show I am punctual?

Use rounds covered on time, first-attempt rates or early starts you have kept, with a number where you have one.

Is a van or lorry license needed?

It depends on the vehicle. A category B car license covers vans up to 3,500 kg; anything heavier needs category C1 or C. List the category you hold with the courses you have completed.
