Code 14 Flatdeck Driver (Steel Loads)

The road is your office with a coal haulage contractor based in Alberton, and the load gets there because of you. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Alberton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
