Code 14 Driver (Regional Night Runs)

You'll move heavy loads between Bellville and depots across the country for a coal haulage contractor. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Bellville-based, with most of your time spent at a coal haulage contractor. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Keep the cab clean and report defects at the end of each trip
• Follow hazchem rules, placards and emergency procedures on tanker loads
• Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
• Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
• Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks
• Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads

• Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
• Passport for cross-border routes
• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks
• Clean driving record with no serious accidents
• Medically fit, including eyesight
• Clean criminal record

• Defensive driving course
• Experience on a specific trailer type (tanker, tipper, reefer)
• Clean record on a telematics driving score

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

• 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.
