How to apply

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: Code 14 licence card and PrDP (both sides copied), reference letters from previous transport companies plus passport copy for cross-border work.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Durban Central; 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.

How to stand out

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