Code 14 Driver (Regional Night Runs)

Experienced Code 14 drivers are in short supply, and a cross-border transport company in Epping is hiring. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Epping, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
• Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids

• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
• Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
• Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks

• Passport for cross-border routes
• Medically fit, including eyesight
• Valid Code 14 (EC) licence
