Code 14 Flatdeck Driver (Steel Loads)

The road is your office with a cold-chain logistics fleet based in Vanderbijlpark, and the load gets there because of you. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The work is in Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
• Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
• Keep the cab clean and report defects at the end of each trip
• Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks
• Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
• Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
• Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips

• Valid Code 14 (EC) licence
• Clean criminal record
• Passport for cross-border routes
• Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
• Medically fit, including eyesight
• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks

• Provident fund and medical aid option
• Paid PrDP renewal
• Monthly safe-driving and fuel-saving bonus
• Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips

• 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".
