Heavy Driver Biodata Format: Sample, Blank Form and Lines to Copy

A transport manager or overseas recruiter hiring a heavy driver checks three things first: the licence class, the vehicles you have handled and, for jobs abroad, your passport. This format puts those at the top, above education and family details.

When this format is the right one

Use it for truck, trailer, tipper, tanker, container and bus driver posts with transport companies, contractors and fleet owners, and for heavy driver jobs abroad that ask for a biodata before an interview or trade test.

Copy-ready lines for a heavy driver biodata

Copy the lines that are true for you, fill every [bracket] and delete the rest. Heavy driver jobs almost always include a driving test, so write only vehicles you can drive in front of the employer.

The licence line. Put it under your name

Write the number and the class exactly as printed. An LMV licence covers transport vehicles up to 7,500 kg gross vehicle weight under the Supreme Court Constitution Bench ruling of 6 November 2024; heavier trucks and buses need the transport class.

• Driving Licence No.: [MH04 20XX XXXXXXX] | Class: LMV + Transport ([HGMV / HPMV / HTV]) | Valid till: [DD/MM/YYYY]
• Heavy vehicle experience: [9] years | Accident-free: [9] years | Pending challans: none
• Badge No.: [if your state issued one]

Vehicles and loads

• Vehicles: [10-wheeler and 12-wheeler trucks, 40 ft trailer, tipper]: manual gearbox
• Loads carried: [steel coils / containers / cement bags / FMCG goods]; checked lashing and loading before every trip
• Tanker driver for [diesel / milk / chemicals] with [company]; [dangerous goods training certificate, if you hold one]
• Bus driver ([staff bus / school bus / intercity]) on fixed routes with [45]-seater vehicles

Routes and records

• Routes: [Mumbai-Delhi (NH48), Mumbai-Bengaluru, Gujarat ports]: night driving and ghat sections
• Kept trip sheets, fuel logs, toll and FASTag records; carried e-way bill and LR copies on every trip
• Daily checks: tyres, brakes, air pressure, oil and lights; reported faults before leaving the yard

For jobs abroad

If your passport is in the ECR category, employment in ECR countries such as the Gulf states needs emigration clearance through the eMigrate system. Write the passport line exactly as printed.

• Passport No.: [ ] | Valid till: [DD/MM/YYYY] | Category: [ECR / ECNR]
• Overseas experience: [Heavy driver, [company], [country], [year] to [year]]
• Willing to take a trade test and work on contract abroad

Blank heavy driver biodata form. Copy into Word

Select the form, copy it into Word or Google Docs, and fill the blanks. Keep a monospaced font such as Courier New so the colons stay lined up, then print it on A4.

What to get right

• Put the licence number and class first, exactly as printed.
• Name vehicle types and loads, not just years of driving.
• List the highways and routes you know.
• State accident-free years and pending challans honestly, as both can be checked online.
• For jobs abroad, add passport number, expiry and ECR or ECNR status.
• Sign the declaration and carry the original licence to the driving test.
