What a useful record should achieve

  • One current availability record
  • Credential and expiry dates that are easier to review
  • Purpose-limited evidence you decide when to share

A practical four-step approach

  1. 01

    Start with current facts

    Record your preferred name, home region, availability and the work types or routes that fit you.

  2. 02

    Add masked credential details

    Keep the credential type, issuer and expiry date without sending raw documents through open chats.

  3. 03

    Record useful work evidence

    Preserve accepted assignments and trip actions where the evidence exists. Never invent experience or readiness.

  4. 04

    Share for one purpose

    Choose the purpose, fields, expiry and view limit, then revoke the link when it is no longer needed.

Concise, source-backed answers

Does a Driver Passport replace a driving licence or PrDP?

No. It is a private career record. Official licence and PrDP validity remain separate and must be checked with the responsible authorities.

What should a portable career record contain?

Current availability, work preferences, masked credential facts, expiry dates and evidence from real accepted work—never invented experience or unrestricted identity documents.

Does CargoSpace guarantee a job?

No. A stronger record may make relevant facts easier to assess, but it does not guarantee employment, work, income or operator acceptance.

Questions to ask before proceeding

  • Is my availability current?
  • Which credential expires next?
  • What evidence can I safely share for this specific purpose?
