Code 14 Car Carrier Driver

You'll move heavy loads between Somerset West and depots across the country for a long-haul freight fleet. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is Somerset West-based, with most of your time spent at a long-haul freight fleet. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
• Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks
• Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
• Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
• Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts
• Follow hazchem rules, placards and emergency procedures on tanker loads
• Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately

• Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
• Clean driving record with no serious accidents
• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks
• Able to be away from home for several nights at a time

• Knowledge of SADC border routes
• Clean record on a telematics driving score

• Monthly safe-driving and fuel-saving bonus
• Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips
• Well-maintained trucks with sleeper cabs

• List the trailer types and routes you have done, for example "tautliner, JHB to Durban, 4 years".
• Expect a driving test with a real truck. Arrive rested and do your pre-trip check out loud so the assessor sees it.
