Code 14 Refrigerated Truck Driver

The road is your office with a coal haulage contractor based in Klerksdorp, and the load gets there because of you. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work is in Klerksdorp, North West, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Drive planned routes and stop only at approved truck stops
• Follow hazchem rules, placards and emergency procedures on tanker loads
• Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
• Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips
• Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks
• Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts
• Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately

• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks
• Clean driving record with no serious accidents
• Clean criminal record
• Able to be away from home for several nights at a time

• Paid PrDP renewal
• Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips
• Monthly safe-driving and fuel-saving bonus

• Be honest about accidents or fines. Companies check your driving record anyway and trust drivers who tell them upfront.
• Put your licence code, PrDP expiry date and years on Code 14 in the first three lines. Transport managers scan for those first.
