Code 14 Refrigerated Truck Driver

The road is your office with a cross-border transport company based in Stellenbosch, and the load gets there because of you. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

You'll report in Stellenbosch. Relocation is not covered for this one.

• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
• Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
• Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
• Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips
• Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
• Drive planned routes and stop only at approved truck stops
• Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks

• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks
• Valid Code 14 (EC) licence
• Passport for cross-border routes
• Clean criminal record
• Medically fit, including eyesight
• Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)

• Defensive driving course
• Dangerous goods training certificate
• Knowledge of SADC border routes

• Provident fund and medical aid option
• Well-maintained trucks with sleeper cabs
• Paid PrDP renewal

• 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.
