Dear Employers and Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in your growing company. I have twenty-nine years of experience as a line haul/ transportation driver. I have a CDL Class A, with all endorsements. With my experience, knowledge, and work ethic, I feel that I am not only qualified for this position, but would be an asset to your team.
I am an incredibly driven employee. As a truck driver, it is imperative to take initiative and work well independently. Throughout many years, I have mastered being able to execute my tasks and goals with little supervision from my superiors. With my years of experience, I am comfortable and confident when behind the wheel. I have won many Driving Safety Awards throughout my career, highlighting my care and caution when operating a vehicle.
Alongside my trucking career, I also served four years in the United States Marine Corps and am a Desert Storm Veteran. This chapter of my life taught me discipline, respect, resilience, and a work ethic that has carried my career. These qualities are evident in my work. My past coworkers and superior have valued these traits, allowing me to stay at my most current employer for over seventeen years.
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak further about this opportunity and how I could serve the company. Feel free to contact me anytime at the information above. I am confident I would be a great fit. Thank you for your time and consideration.
