Code 14 Tanker Driver (Hazchem)

Long hours, clean record, safe arrival every time: that is what a coal haulage contractor in Harrismith pays for. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll report in Harrismith. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Keep the cab clean and report defects at the end of each trip
• Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
• Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
• Drive planned routes and stop only at approved truck stops
• Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot

• Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
• Passport for cross-border routes
• Able to be away from home for several nights at a time
• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks

• Knowledge of SADC border routes
• Defensive driving course

• Monthly safe-driving and fuel-saving bonus
• Well-maintained trucks with sleeper cabs
• Paid PrDP renewal
• Provident fund and medical aid option

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