Code 14 Refrigerated Truck Driver

You'll move heavy loads between Somerset West and depots across the country for a long-haul freight fleet. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Somerset West, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
