Job Description

Long hours, clean record, safe arrival every time: that is what a coal haulage contractor in Richards Bay pays for. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Home base is a coal haulage contractor on the Richards Bay side of KwaZulu-Natal.

What your day looks like

  • Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
  • Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
  • Complete border paperwork at Beitbridge, Lebombo or other posts
  • Keep the logbook and tachograph or telematics records up to date
  • Keep the cab clean and report defects at the end of each trip

Must-haves

  • Passport for cross-border routes
  • Clean criminal record
  • Clean driving record with no serious accidents
  • At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks

Helpful, not essential

  • Knowledge of SADC border routes
  • Clean record on a telematics driving score

On offer

  • Monthly safe-driving and fuel-saving bonus
  • Provident fund and medical aid option
  • Paid PrDP renewal
  • Overnight and subsistence allowance on trips

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Richards Bay really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: dangerous goods certificate if you have one plus Code 14 licence card and PrDP (both sides copied).
  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 9 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted
