Create ResumeIf you're applying for a non-CDL driving job, your resume must clearly show the tools, equipment, and software you can actually use on the job. Hiring managers scan for these fast. The right list proves you can handle deliveries, manage routes, and work independently without extra training. This guide shows exactly what to include, how to present it, and what recruiters look for.
At this stage, employers are not just looking for “driver experience.” They want job-ready operators who can:
Handle delivery equipment safely
Navigate routes efficiently using modern tools
Manage proof of delivery and mobile apps
Load and secure cargo properly
Work independently with minimal supervision
If your resume lacks specific tools or equipment, you look inexperienced even if you’re not.
Non CDL driver tools and equipment include the vehicles, delivery tools, navigation systems, software, and safety gear used to complete transportation and delivery tasks efficiently and safely. These skills show employers you can handle real-world job responsibilities without additional training.
List only vehicles under 26,001 lbs GVW that do NOT require a CDL.
Cargo vans
Sprinter vans
Pickup trucks
Step vans (non-CDL rated)
Box trucks (under CDL threshold)
Good Example
Operated cargo vans and 16 ft box trucks for local and regional deliveries
Weak Example
Drove vehicles for deliveries
Why this matters: Specific vehicles signal experience level and job readiness.
This is where many resumes fail. Employers want to know if you can physically handle deliveries.
Hand trucks and dollies
Appliance dollies
Furniture pads and moving blankets
Load straps and tie-downs
Load bars
Pallet jacks
Liftgate operation
Instead of listing randomly, group them under a skill section:
Delivery Equipment & Load Handling
Hand trucks, pallet jacks, and appliance dollies
Load securement using straps, bars, and pads
Liftgate operation for heavy item deliveries
Route efficiency directly affects cost and delivery time. This is a critical hiring factor.
GPS navigation systems
Google Maps
Apple Maps
Waze
Garmin devices
Route optimization apps
Multi-stop route optimization software
Real-time traffic rerouting tools
Route Planning & Navigation
Optimized daily delivery routes using Google Maps and Waze
Managed multi-stop deliveries with route optimization apps
Modern delivery jobs rely heavily on mobile technology.
Handheld scanners
Barcode scanners
Mobile delivery apps
Proof-of-delivery (POD) systems
Electronic signature capture
Photo delivery confirmation
Delivery manifest apps
Dispatch communication platforms
Real-time delivery tracking apps
Delivery Technology & Software
Used handheld scanners and mobile apps for delivery tracking
Captured electronic signatures and photo proof of delivery
Communicated with dispatch using real-time delivery platforms
This is where you move from “driver” to reliable operator in the eyes of recruiters.
Fleet management apps
Fuel card systems
Mileage tracking logs
Vehicle inspection checklists
Electronic driver vehicle inspection reports (eDVIR)
Fleet & Compliance Tools
Completed daily vehicle inspections using digital checklists
Managed fuel tracking and mileage logs
Used fleet apps to monitor delivery performance
Even drivers often support warehouse operations.
Pallet jacks
Warehouse carts
Inventory scanners
Staging systems
Inventory management apps
Include if you:
Load your own truck
Work from a warehouse hub
Assist in inventory handling
Safety compliance matters, especially for delivery companies.
Safety gloves
Steel-toe or safety shoes
Reflective vests
Back support belts
Followed safety protocols using PPE including gloves, safety shoes, and reflective gear
These give you a competitive edge only when applicable.
Temperature-controlled bags
Refrigerated delivery equipment
Medical courier containers
Chain-of-custody tracking systems
Only include if you’ve actually used them. These are high-trust roles.
If you have these, highlight them separately.
Liftgate operation
Route optimization software
Fleet telematics systems
Electronic inspection reports
Medical delivery tracking systems
They show:
Efficiency
Tech familiarity
Reduced training cost for employer
Create a dedicated section:
Tools & Equipment
Then group logically:
Vehicles
Delivery Equipment
Navigation & Software
Compliance & Fleet Tools
“Delivery tools” means nothing to employers.
Don’t just list tools. Show usage.
Stick to non-CDL and delivery-related tools only.
Focus on tools relevant to the job you’re applying for.
Operated 16 ft box trucks and cargo vans; used pallet jacks, liftgates, and route optimization apps to complete 25+ daily deliveries
Responsible for deliveries and used equipment when needed
Why: The good example shows scale, tools, and efficiency.
Hiring managers scan resumes in 6–10 seconds.
They look for:
Familiar tools they already use
Evidence you won’t need training
Signs of efficiency and reliability
If they don’t see recognizable tools, they move on.
Always tailor based on job type:
Focus on:
Vans
GPS apps
POD systems
Focus on:
Dollies
Liftgates
Load securement
Focus on:
Temperature control equipment
Compliance tools
Make sure your resume includes:
At least 5–10 relevant tools
Clear grouping of equipment
Real usage examples
Matching tools from job description
If not, you’re leaving opportunities on the table.
