Passport for cross-border routes
Medically fit, including eyesight
Clean criminal record
At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks
Clean driving record with no serious accidents
Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)

Helpful, not essential

Dangerous goods training certificate

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: 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 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 George.

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

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.
