How to apply for this job

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): reference letters from previous transport companies 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 9 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 Umhlanga.

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

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.
