Common questions
What licence do I need to be a delivery driver?
Most van and car routes need a full licence: Class G in Ontario, Class 5 in BC and Alberta. Larger trucks need a higher class. Check the job ad.
What is a driver's abstract?
It is your official driving record from the province. In Ontario, a 3-year record shows demerit points, convictions and suspensions. If yours is clean, say so.
What numbers should a driver put on a resume?
Stops or packages per day, route length, on-time rate and years without a collision.
Can app delivery count as experience?
Yes. List it as self-employed, with the number of deliveries and your rating.
