List each licence with its class, endorsements, ratings and issuing body (for example "CDL Class A, Hazmat and Tanker endorsements" or "FAA ATP, A320 type rating").
Lead with safety numbers such as accident-free miles, clean inspections or violation-free years, because employers screen on them first.
Name the equipment, aircraft, routes and systems you know (Samsara ELDs, McLeod, Sabre, Boeing 737) so recruiters can match you quickly.
