Clean driving record with no serious accidents

Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips
Paid PrDP renewal
Monthly safe-driving and fuel-saving bonus

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Paarl really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): reference letters from previous transport companies, Code 14 licence card and PrDP (both sides copied) plus dangerous goods certificate if you have one.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Paarl.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

Be honest about accidents or fines. Companies check your driving record anyway and trust drivers who tell them upfront.
Expect a driving test with a real truck. Arrive rested and do your pre-trip check out loud so the assessor sees it.
