Code 14 Tautliner Driver (Long Distance)

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

The site is in Cape Town CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
• Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
• Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
• Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
• Drive planned routes and stop only at approved truck stops
• Follow hazchem rules, placards and emergency procedures on tanker loads

• Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
• Valid Code 14 (EC) licence

• Medically fit, including eyesight

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