Job Description

Long hours, clean record, safe arrival every time: that is what a cold-chain logistics fleet in Soweto pays for. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

You'll report in Soweto. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

Follow hazchem rules, placards and emergency procedures on tanker loads
Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips
Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks
Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts

What you need

Clean criminal record
Clean driving record with no serious accidents
Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
Passport for cross-border routes
Able to be away from home for several nights at a time

Helpful, not essential

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

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Keep copies of these ready to send: passport copy for cross-border work, dangerous goods certificate if you have one plus reference letters from previous transport companies.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Soweto; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

Expect a driving test with a real truck. Arrive rested and do your pre-trip check out loud so the assessor sees it.
Put your licence code, PrDP expiry date and years on Code 14 in the first three lines. Transport managers scan for those first.
