Code 14 Tanker Driver (Hazchem)

Experienced Code 14 drivers are in short supply, and a cross-border transport company in Cape Town CBD is hiring. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll be based at a cross-border transport company in Cape Town CBD. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Follow hazchem rules, placards and emergency procedures on tanker loads
• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
• Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks
• Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
• Drive planned routes and stop only at approved truck stops
• Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately

• Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks
• Able to be away from home for several nights at a time
• Medically fit, including eyesight
• Clean criminal record

• Provident fund and medical aid option
• Paid PrDP renewal
• Well-maintained trucks with sleeper cabs

• Be honest about accidents or fines. Companies check your driving record anyway and trust drivers who tell them upfront.
• Put your licence code, PrDP expiry date and years on Code 14 in the first three lines. Transport managers scan for those first.
