• Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks
• Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
• Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
• Follow hazchem rules, placards and emergency procedures on tanker loads
• Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts

• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks

• Provident fund and medical aid option
• Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips
