Code 14 Tanker Driver (Hazchem)

Experienced Code 14 drivers are in short supply, and a coal haulage contractor in Vanderbijlpark is hiring. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Vanderbijlpark. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
• Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
• Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
• Drive planned routes and stop only at approved truck stops
• Keep the cab clean and report defects at the end of each trip
• Carry out fuel stops with the fuel card and keep the slips

• Valid Code 14 (EC) licence
• Clean driving record with no serious accidents
• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks
• Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)

• Experience on a specific trailer type (tanker, tipper, reefer)
• Knowledge of SADC border routes

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

• Expect a driving test with a real truck. Arrive rested and do your pre-trip check out loud so the assessor sees it.
