Job Description

Long hours, clean record, safe arrival every time: that is what a fuel distribution fleet in Durban Central pays for. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Durban Central; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

The work, day to day

  • Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
  • Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
  • Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts
  • Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
  • Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date

What you need

  • Clean criminal record
  • Valid Code 14 (EC) licence
  • Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
  • Able to be away from home for several nights at a time

Nice if you have

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

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: passport copy for cross-border work plus Code 14 licence card and PrDP (both sides copied).
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.
