Code 14 Side Tipper Driver (Coal Haulage)

Experienced Code 14 drivers are in short supply, and a fuel distribution fleet in Durban Central is hiring. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is Durban Central-based, with most of your time spent at a fuel distribution fleet. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
• Keep the cab clean and report defects at the end of each trip
• Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
• Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts
• Drive planned routes and stop only at approved truck stops
• Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips
• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot

• Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
• Clean driving record with no serious accidents
• Able to be away from home for several nights at a time
• Medically fit, including eyesight

• Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips
• Well-maintained trucks with sleeper cabs
• Provident fund and medical aid option

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