Dear [Mr./Mrs./Ms.] [Hiring Manager’s Surname],

I believe a good delivery driver goes the extra mile to ensure safety, reduce cost, and save time. With a proven track record of accomplishing all three, I’m applying for the Delivery Driver position at [Company Name]. Bringing more than 8 years of experience, a CDL Class A driver’s license, and a clean driving record, I’m confident that I’m a great candidate for the job.

In my current position at Pro Courier, I’ve performed daily deliveries for 6 years without incident, receiving praise for timely delivery, safe driving, and efficient route planning. I’ve also garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers, which generated more revenue for the company.

Since becoming a delivery driver, I’ve continuously shown a safety-first personality, punctuality, and the ability to reduce expenses, demonstrated by:

Having zero accidents for more than 8 years
Maintaining +99.6% on-time delivery in the past 12 months
Saving an average of $112K annually in gas and repair costs

Additionally, I’m obsessed with maps, and I spend many hours every week finding more efficient routes. I’m also in good shape as I’m an avid runner, which is why I haven’t requested a single sick day in over 3 years.

I’m thrilled at the prospect of joining [Company Name]’s delivery team, and I look forward to meeting you in person to discuss the opportunity. You may reach me by phone at (895) 555-555 or via email at youremail@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
