Code 14 Side Tipper Driver (Coal Haulage)

Experienced Code 14 drivers are in short supply, and a long-haul freight fleet in Richards Bay is hiring. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is in Richards Bay (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
• Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
• Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts
• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
• Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
• Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately
• Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips

• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks
• Medically fit, including eyesight
• Clean driving record with no serious accidents
• Able to be away from home for several nights at a time
• Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
• Passport for cross-border routes

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