Job Description

Experienced Code 14 drivers are in short supply, and a fuel distribution fleet in Durban Central is hiring. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The work is in Durban Central, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What you'll actually do

  • 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
  • Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
  • Follow hazchem rules, placards and emergency procedures on tanker loads
  • Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
  • Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks

Must-haves

  • Medically fit, including eyesight
  • Able to be away from home for several nights at a time
  • Clean criminal record
  • Passport for cross-border routes

Nice if you have

  • Defensive driving course
  • Dangerous goods training certificate

On offer

  • Paid PrDP renewal
  • Well-maintained trucks with sleeper cabs
  • Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips
  • Monthly safe-driving and fuel-saving bonus

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): passport copy for cross-border work, reference letters from previous transport companies plus dangerous goods certificate if you have one.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.
