A cover letter is a vital part of a paratransit driver’s resume. It not only gives you a chance to introduce your candidacy in a favorable light but also provides a platform for selling your core driving competencies.
Candidates sometimes underestimate the importance of this document and simply rehash their resumes.
However, a cover letter is a golden opportunity to personalize with your future employer and it must be drafted very carefully.

Mr. Robert Greyson
HR Manager
ABC Company
98 Hemingway Avenue
Chicago, IL 89669
Dear Mr. Greyson:
Your advertisement for a paratransit driver calls for the similar abilities I have acquired through my 9+ years’ hands-on experiences in the driving arena. With my current class B driver’s license and safe driving record, I will be able to contribute significantly.
As an expert in map reading and GPS navigation, I bring a track record of reducing fuel costs for my previous employers massively through intelligent route setting and the implementation of cost-effective vehicle acceleration protocols. My previous company’s clients had been satisfied by my driving skills and wheelchairs enter/exit assistance expertise. My name made it to the ‘most-asked for’ driver’s list for 3 consecutive years owing to excellent my professionalism, empathy, and compassion while driving clients with special needs.
Moreover, I offer skills in route setting, swift radio response, and operation of specially installed equipment in vehicles for mobility support of disabled clients.
I look forward to meeting with you soon in order to discuss your needs in relation to my expertise. I will follow up on my application after a few days. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jason Kline
