Code 14 Refrigerated Truck Driver – Fixed-Term

You'll move heavy loads between Durban Central and depots across the country for a long-haul freight fleet. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is in Durban Central (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Follow hazchem rules, placards and emergency procedures on tanker loads
• Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
• Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks
• Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips
• Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date

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

• Defensive driving course
• Experience on a specific trailer type (tanker, tipper, reefer)

• Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips
• Well-maintained trucks with sleeper cabs
• Paid PrDP renewal

• 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.
