Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Code 14 licence card and PrDP (both sides copied) plus dangerous goods certificate if you have one.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Welkom.

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

Be honest about accidents or fines. Companies check your driving record anyway and trust drivers who tell them upfront.
List the trailer types and routes you have done, for example "tautliner, JHB to Durban, 4 years".
