Driver's Assistant (Parcel Routes)

You'll load and offload trucks at a container unpacking yard in Khayelitsha so every delivery goes out full and correct. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is Khayelitsha-based, with most of your time spent at a container unpacking yard. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading

• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• No criminal record
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Willing to travel on routes that return late

• Past work as a driver's assistant
• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

• Uniform and safety shoes provided
• Meal allowance on long-route days
• Help to get your own licence through the company later
• Route-completion incentives in busy months

• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
• Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
