Aperçu — adapté à Swift Recruit
Dear Hiring Manager,
Swift Recruit's Class 1 Day Driver vacancy in Swaffham is a strong match for my current licence portfolio and experience. I hold a valid Class 1 HGV licence, an up-to-date Driver CPC card, and a current Digi card, and I have hands-on experience with curtainside trailers across multi-drop regional routes — precisely the combination your contract requires.
My background in HGV driving includes completing 4–5 drops per shift across East Anglian routes, maintaining full tachograph compliance and conducting thorough pre-departure checks on every run. I am comfortable working independently on day shifts and take pride in delivering safely and on time, which I understand is a priority for drivers already on this contract.
