Job Description

Experienced Code 14 drivers are in short supply, and a cold-chain logistics fleet in Kariega is hiring. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips
Follow hazchem rules, placards and emergency procedures on tanker loads
Drive planned routes and stop only at approved truck stops
Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts
Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot

You'll need

Passport for cross-border routes
Clean criminal record
Valid Code 14 (EC) licence
Medically fit, including eyesight
Clean driving record with no serious accidents
Able to be away from home for several nights at a time

Helpful, not essential

Provident fund and medical aid option
Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips

How to apply for this job

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Code 14 licence card and PrDP (both sides copied), 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 7 working days, usually by phone.

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.
