Code 14 Driver (Regional Night Runs)

The road is your office with a fuel distribution fleet based in Newcastle, and the load gets there because of you. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is in Newcastle (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately
• Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts
• Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks
• Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
• Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
• Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids

• Able to be away from home for several nights at a time
• Medically fit, including eyesight
• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks
• Clean criminal record
• Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)

• Knowledge of SADC border routes
• Experience on a specific trailer type (tanker, tipper, reefer)

• Paid PrDP renewal
• Monthly safe-driving and fuel-saving bonus
• Provident fund and medical aid option
• Well-maintained trucks with sleeper cabs

• Put your licence code, PrDP expiry date and years on Code 14 in the first three lines. Transport managers scan for those first.
• List the trailer types and routes you have done, for example "tautliner, JHB to Durban, 4 years".
