Job Description

Experienced Code 14 drivers are in short supply, and a cold-chain logistics fleet in Midrand is hiring. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Midrand; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

What you'll actually do

  • Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
  • Drive planned routes and stop only at approved truck stops
  • Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately
  • Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
  • Keep the cab clean and report defects at the end of each trip
  • Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts
  • Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date

What you need

  • Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
  • Able to be away from home for several nights at a time
  • Clean criminal record
  • Clean driving record with no serious accidents
  • Passport for cross-border routes
  • At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks

Helpful, not essential

  • Defensive driving course
  • Dangerous goods training certificate

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: Code 14 licence card and PrDP (both sides copied), reference letters from previous transport companies plus passport copy for cross-border work.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 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 Midrand.

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.
  • List the trailer types and routes you have done, for example "tautliner, JHB to Durban, 4 years".
