Delivery Driver Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve kept delivery runs steady and on time for a few years now, and I know the ins and outs that keep a route moving. At my last role I managed a daily route that covered roughly 180 kilometres across multiple suburbs, with a strict 95 per cent on-time delivery rate. I’m comfortable with route planning, loading and unloading, and keeping documents in order while talking through any issues that pop up on the way. I’ve built solid skills in driving vans, manoeuvring for loading and unloading, and securing goods for transport. I’m used to verifying loading documents, organising unloading operations, and noting any maintenance needs before they become bigger problems. I’m keen to bring a practical approach to [Company Name], with a focus on accuracy, safety and tidy handovers at the door. One shift stands out from the rest. A parcel drop ran late and I had to rework the route on the spot, coordinate with the warehouse for additional helpers, and recheck loading docs under time pressure. I kept the vehicle well balanced, reported a minor brake pad issue as soon as I could and still finished the deliveries with no holds. It’s that calm, methodical approach I rely on when things don’t go to plan. I’m ready to discuss how I can contribute to the team at [Company Name]. If you’d like to chat, I can be available for a call or an in-person meeting at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
