Code 10 Crane Truck Driver (Building Supplies)

Drive, deliver, get the signature, next stop: this is route work for a building-supplies merchant in Ermelo. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Ermelo-based, with most of your time spent at a building-supplies merchant. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Check the truck's oil, water, tyres and lights before leaving
• Plan your drop order with the dispatch clerk each morning
• Fill in the trip sheet with kilometres, fuel and stops
• Get signed invoices back to the office at the end of each day
• Deliver to shops, sites and homes on your route
• Report damaged goods or refused deliveries straight away

• Good knowledge of roads in and around the city
• At least 2 years driving rigid trucks
• Honest with cash and customer goods
• Valid Code 10 (C1) licence
• Friendly and professional with customers
• Clean driving record

• Code 14 licence (a step up)
• Experience on a sales-and-delivery route

• Company-paid PrDP renewals
• Overtime on month-end and peak days
• Delivery incentive per completed route

• If your PrDP expires soon, renew it before applying. An expired PrDP is an automatic no.
• Mention cash handling if you have done COD deliveries. Honest cash drivers are what distributors worry about most.
