Why a HGV Driver CV is different
A HGV Driver CV is read against very different signals to a generic CV in the UK. CPC, ADR and class get hidden in the middle of generic filler. Your real route and trunk experience gets reduced to 'driving'. Transport managers scan, they don't read.
Sausage Dog leads with class, CPC, digital tacho, ADR if held. Uses real transport language: trunking, multidrop, distribution, container, refrigerated. Rewrites bullets around routes, hours and reliability.
Our underlying research, We read 240 UK HGV driver job adverts, found that 60% require Driver CPC. That single signal often decides whether a CV makes the shortlist.

Frequently asked
How does Sausage Dog tailor a hgv driver CV?+
Sausage Dog reads the hgv driver job description you paste in, identifies the keywords, responsibilities, and qualifications it asks for, then rewrites your existing CV to mirror that language while keeping every fact in your real experience intact. The result is an ATS-friendly CV in under a minute.
Is the output ATS-friendly for hgv driver roles?+
Yes. The tailored CV uses plain formatting, mirrors the exact keywords in the job description, and keeps section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) that applicant tracking systems are built to parse. No tables, columns, or fancy headers that break ATS scans.
Will the rewritten hgv driver CV still sound like me?+
That is the whole point. Sausage Dog rewrites your real bullet points in your tone, not corporate jargon. It does not invent qualifications or experience you do not have, it just sharpens what is already there for the specific hgv driver role.
Is it free to tailor a hgv driver CV?+
Yes. You can tailor one CV per day on the free tier with no card needed. Premium (£9/month) gives unlimited tailoring plus cover letters, interview prep, and LinkedIn rewrites for the same role.
