Create CVHiring managers for delivery driver roles typically scan resumes in under 10 seconds. They are not looking for long narratives—they want quick proof that you can:
Drive safely and reliably
Meet delivery deadlines
Handle packages or goods properly
Follow routes and use navigation tools
Maintain a clean driving record
Because of this, resume length is not about filling space—it’s about delivering clear, relevant information fast.
For most candidates, a one-page resume is not just preferred—it’s expected.
The decision is simple, but many candidates overcomplicate it.
You have less than 10 years of driving experience
You’ve had 1–3 delivery or driving roles
Your experience is repetitive (similar duties across jobs)
You’re applying for standard delivery roles (Amazon, FedEx, UPS, local courier)
You have 10+ years of experience
You’ve worked in multiple specialized driving roles (e.g., CDL, hazardous materials, long-haul, logistics coordination)
Delivery driver roles are operational, not academic or executive. Employers prioritize efficiency and clarity, not volume.
Here’s why one page wins in most cases:
Recruiters often review dozens or hundreds of applications. A concise resume increases your chances of being fully read.
A one-page resume forces you to include only what matters:
Driving experience
Safety record
Delivery performance
Relevant skills
Short resumes highlight your strongest points instead of burying them.
You have certifications, safety awards, or leadership roles worth including
You’ve progressed into senior or supervisory positions
Key rule: If the second page doesn’t add new value, don’t use it.
A second page only works if it strengthens your candidacy—not weakens it.
You have multiple employers with different responsibilities (e.g., courier, warehouse driver, CDL truck driver)
You’ve managed teams or trained new drivers
You have measurable achievements (delivery volume, safety records, route optimization)
You hold certifications (CDL, hazmat, defensive driving, forklift operation)
It includes non-repetitive, high-value content
It shows career progression or specialization
It is well-organized and easy to scan
If page two is just more of the same job duties, it will hurt your chances.
A strong one-page resume follows a tight, logical structure.
Include:
Full name
Phone number
Professional email
City and state
Optional: LinkedIn (if relevant)
Keep it clean—no unnecessary details.
This is your snapshot. Focus on results, not duties.
Good Example:
“Reliable delivery driver with 5+ years of experience completing 100+ daily deliveries with a 99% on-time rate. Strong safety record and route optimization skills.”
Focus only on job-relevant skills:
Route planning and navigation (GPS, apps)
Time management
Safe driving practices
Customer service
Package handling
Vehicle inspection
Avoid generic skills like “hardworking” or “team player.”
Each role should include:
Job title
Company name
Location
Dates
Then 3–5 bullet points per job:
Start with action verbs
Focus on results and numbers
Good Example:
Delivered 120+ packages daily across assigned routes with 98% on-time rate
Maintained accident-free driving record over 4 years
Reduced delivery delays by optimizing route planning
Keep it simple:
High school diploma or GED (most cases)
Relevant training or certifications
CDL (Commercial Driver’s License)
Defensive driving certification
Forklift certification
DOT compliance training
If you qualify for two pages, structure becomes even more critical.
Header
Summary
Key skills
Most recent and relevant experience
Older roles (less detail)
Certifications
Additional achievements
Leadership or training experience
Important: The first page must stand alone. A recruiter should understand your value without needing page two.
Most candidates struggle with resume length because they include unnecessary details.
Cut these immediately:
If every job says “Delivered packages,” compress it.
Old or unrelated jobs (retail, food service) should be shortened or removed unless they add value.
Recruiters scan—use bullet points, not blocks of text.
Replace outdated objectives with a results-focused summary.
Adding fluff just to look “more experienced” backfires.
Only include relevant roles from the past 10–15 years.
Delivery work is understood—focus on performance, not descriptions.
A cramped one-page resume is worse than a clean two-page one.
If your resume feels “too short,” the problem isn’t length—it’s content quality.
Numbers instantly increase impact:
Deliveries per day
On-time percentage
Safety record duration
Distance covered
Employers value consistency:
“Maintained 100% attendance over 2 years”
“Zero accidents in 50,000+ miles driven”
Stick to one page. Include:
Transferable skills (time management, customer service)
Any driving-related experience
Clean driving record
Two pages can be justified faster due to:
Compliance requirements
Certifications
Specialized equipment experience
One page is ideal. Focus on:
Volume (number of deliveries)
Ratings
Efficiency
Before choosing one or two pages, ask:
Does every line add value?
Am I repeating the same responsibilities?
Will a recruiter read all of this?
Is my strongest content on page one?
If you hesitate on any of these, shorten it.
