Clean criminal record
Valid Code 14 (EC) licence

How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: Code 14 licence card and PrDP (both sides copied), dangerous goods certificate if you have one plus reference letters from previous transport companies.
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 10 working days.

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

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

List the trailer types and routes you have done, for example "tautliner, JHB to Durban, 4 years".
Put your licence code, PrDP expiry date and years on Code 14 in the first three lines. Transport managers scan for those first.
