Job Description

Experienced Code 14 drivers are in short supply, and a coal haulage contractor in Stellenbosch is hiring. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips
Keep the cab clean and report defects at the end of each trip
Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts
Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately
Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads

You'll need

Clean criminal record
Medically fit, including eyesight
Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
Clean driving record with no serious accidents
Able to be away from home for several nights at a time
Valid Code 14 (EC) licence

Helpful, not essential

Dangerous goods training certificate
Defensive driving course
Clean record on a telematics driving score

What you get

Well-maintained trucks with sleeper cabs
Provident fund and medical aid option
Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips
Monthly safe-driving and fuel-saving bonus

How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): dangerous goods certificate if you have one, passport copy for cross-border work plus reference letters from previous transport companies.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

Tips to get shortlisted

Expect a driving test with a real truck. Arrive rested and do your pre-trip check out loud so the assessor sees it.
Put your licence code, PrDP expiry date and years on Code 14 in the first three lines. Transport managers scan for those first.
