Code 14 Side Tipper Driver (Coal Haulage)

Long hours, clean record, safe arrival every time: that is what a long-haul freight fleet in George pays for. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is George-based, with most of your time spent at a long-haul freight fleet.

• Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
• Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips
• Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately
• Follow hazchem rules, placards and emergency procedures on tanker loads
• Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
• Keep the cab clean and report defects at the end of each trip
• Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads

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

• Monthly safe-driving and fuel-saving bonus
• Well-maintained trucks with sleeper cabs
• Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips
• Paid PrDP renewal

• 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.
