Assuming that the CV reader is not interested in military abbreviations, adding the word truck, as I did, will spare them the pain of Googling it to wonder what the job candidate did in her army service. Just the same as if she were a "B-17 bomber pilot".

neutral  Lingopro: I disagree with you since the B stands for Bomber, and saying B-17 Bomber pilot is actually saying: Bomber 17 Bomber pilot. I also think that as translators it's not our jobs to assume. Nonetheless, your answer minus the word Truck is a good one.
