Job Description

The road is your office with a long-haul freight fleet based in Bethlehem, and the load gets there because of you. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately
Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
Drive planned routes and stop only at approved truck stops
Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped

You'll need

Clean driving record with no serious accidents
Passport for cross-border routes
Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
Clean criminal record

Helpful, not essential

Dangerous goods training certificate
Knowledge of SADC border routes
Experience on a specific trailer type (tanker, tipper, reefer)

On offer

Monthly safe-driving and fuel-saving bonus
Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips
Provident fund and medical aid option

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Bethlehem; 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.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
