Job Description

Experienced Code 14 drivers are in short supply, and a coal haulage contractor in Johannesburg CBD is hiring. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The work is in Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What your day looks like

Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads

You'll need

Clean criminal record
Clean driving record with no serious accidents
Valid Code 14 (EC) licence
Passport for cross-border routes
Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)

Helpful, not essential

Defensive driving course
Experience on a specific trailer type (tanker, tipper, reefer)
Dangerous goods training certificate

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Code 14 licence card and PrDP (both sides copied), dangerous goods certificate if you have one plus passport copy for cross-border work.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Johannesburg CBD.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

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