Code 14 Tautliner Driver (Long Distance)

The road is your office with a coal haulage contractor based in Secunda, and the load gets there because of you. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll be based at a coal haulage contractor in Secunda. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Drive planned routes and stop only at approved truck stops
• Log driving hours and take the required rest breaks
• Keep the cab clean and report defects at the end of each trip
• Check the load is secured, strapped or sealed before leaving the depot
• Check reefer temperatures and record them on cold-chain loads
• Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately

• Clean driving record with no serious accidents
• Clean criminal record
• At least 3 years on Code 14 trucks
• Able to be away from home for several nights at a time

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

• Expect a driving test with a real truck. Arrive rested and do your pre-trip check out loud so the assessor sees it.
• Put your licence code, PrDP expiry date and years on Code 14 in the first three lines. Transport managers scan for those first.
