Truck Driver's Offsider Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent three years in the yard handling loading bays and guiding drivers, and I know how small delays can ripple through a whole run. At my last role I helped shift a daily 40–60 load cycle by organising the dock flow, which cut wait times by about 15 minutes per shift. I’m after a solid team that keeps things steady, and I reckon I can bring practical know‑how to [Company Name]. I’m comfortable with labeling goods, recording cargo on arrival and dispatch, and using basic moving equipment to transfer loads safely. I read plans from the dispatch, check paperwork, and help secure freight with tarps and straps. I’ve worked alongside truckies, rail teams, and warehouse staff, so I’m used to clear, concise comms and following site plans. One shift sticks in my mind: a busy Friday with three different destinations and tight margins. I helped coordinate the loader, guided the driver through a tight loading bay, and checked cargo against the manifest as we went. We finished on time, with no damage, and I kept notes on any hiccups for the next week’s runs. It’s about keeping things steady and predictable. I’m available to talk about the role and how I can contribute to [Company Name]. If you’d like, I can swing by for a chat or provide references from [Previous Company]. Kind regards, [Your Name]
