Articulated Truck Driver Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last eight years on the road with big rigs, and I’ve kept the wheels turning on trips ranging from regional runs to longer hauls. In my last role I logged over 120,000 kilometres across multiple states, staying on time and compliant with load limits. I’m looking to bring that practical experience to [Company Name] and support your operation with steady hands and clear focus on safety and efficiency. I’m comfortable with articulated trucks, trailer coupling and uncoupling, and load distribution. I keep up with road rules across jurisdictions and use trip reporting tools to give clear visibility to dispatch and clients. I’ve done basic vehicle maintenance on the road and handled simple repairs when away from workshops. Weight management and safe cargo handling are second nature, and I understand the need to stay within weight limits while keeping balance and ride smooth for the cargo. One example sticks with me. On a long haul through two states, I found a misload issue that could have caused a fault at the next stop. I stopped, corrected the load, and communicated with head office to adjust the plan. The drive went back on track and the client appreciated the proactive approach. Significantly improved the trip’s stability and avoided a delay that would have affected multiple deliveries. I’m happy to discuss how my experience aligns with the role at [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat and can provide further detail on routes, equipment, and the kinds of loads I’ve managed. Kind regards, [Your Name]
