Job Description

The road is your office with a cross-border transport company based in Richards Bay, and the load gets there because of you. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The site is in Richards Bay; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

  • Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
  • Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
  • Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips
  • Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts
  • Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately
  • Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads

What you need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Dangerous goods training certificate
  • Clean record on a telematics driving score
  • Knowledge of SADC border routes

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): dangerous goods certificate if you have one plus Code 14 licence card and PrDP (both sides copied).
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

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

  • 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.
