Job Description

You'll move heavy loads between Secunda and depots across the country for a coal haulage contractor. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

Home base is a coal haulage contractor on the Secunda side of Mpumalanga. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What your day looks like

  • Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
  • Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
  • Keep the cab clean and report defects at the end of each trip
  • Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
  • Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately
  • Do a full pre-trip inspection: tyres, brakes, lights, couplings and fluids
  • Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks

Must-haves

  • Able to be away from home for several nights at a time
  • Valid PrDP (G for goods, D for dangerous goods on tankers)
  • At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks
  • Passport for cross-border routes
  • Medically fit, including eyesight

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  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): Code 14 licence card and PrDP (both sides copied), dangerous goods certificate if you have one plus reference letters from previous transport companies.
  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 7 working days.
