Overview
There are many types of drivers – some work in professional capacities and some in personal ones. Drivers are hired by companies to either drive their own transport or are hired out from companies for various driving purposes. There are truck drivers, bus drivers, limo drivers and personal drivers. Let us have a look at a cover letter example of a driver which will give us some idea of how to write one when applying for this job.

Mr. Andrew Young
Delta Services

Peyton, CO 83735
Dear Mr. Young:
I am interested in applying for the Driver position at Delta Service that you have advertised on your website. As an experienced driver with over a decade of service driving both commercial and private vehicles, I am confident of my suitability for this position.
Following are some of my key strengths which are in line with your requirements:
• Demonstrated ability to check vehicle for problems and perform basic maintenance
• Able to keep both the inside and outside of the vehicle clean
• Proven ability to help passengers when loading and unloading their luggage
• Track record of following all traffic laws
• Able to maintain a log of miles traveled
Since I was born and raised in Peyton, I am comfortable with all locations and addresses in and around the city. I can read the map as well as I can operate the GPS which I understand is the basic requirement of this job. Possessing excellent knowledge of how most engines work, I am never at bay in the event of a breakdown. With my ability to make minor (and sometimes even major) repairs along with excellent know-how of driving both large and small vehicles, I am sure to be an asset to your company. I comprehend the necessity of assisting passengers with embarking and disembarking and loading and unloading cargo when required.
I am certain in my ability to work well for you as a driver and would like to explore this opportunity further by meeting with you in person. I will call you later in the week to ask for an interview date and will be available at (302) 222-2222 if you need to talk to me before we meet.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm Regards,
(Signature)
