If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Umlazi; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.

Before you hit apply

Put your licence code, PrDP expiry date and years on Code 14 in the first three lines. Transport managers scan for those first.
Expect a driving test with a real truck. Arrive rested and do your pre-trip check out loud so the assessor sees it.
