FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Should I list traffic tickets on my CV?

Skip the list, but expect recruiters to ask for a clean record check. Two ticket-free years are usually enough to pass. At-fault accidents are a separate, harder conversation.

How do I show experience without a formal employer?

List the vehicle type, routes, cargo and average mileage. Independent contracting is common in the industry, recruiters understand it. Add a reference contact if you can.

Do I need English for EU jobs?

Basic English usually works, especially for Polish or Czech operators. UK companies expect more, plus a Driver CPC.

Is an ADR endorsement worth it?

Usually pays back in 2 to 3 months on a steady hazardous route. Hourly rates are 20 to 40% higher and you become attractive to fuel and chemical operators.
