Fleet Tracking Controller (Night Shift)

Behind every truck on the road is a controller; at a bus and coach operator in Burgersfort, that could be you. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Burgersfort-based, with most of your time spent at a bus and coach operator.

• Check driver hours so nobody drives too long without rest
• Assign trucks and drivers to routes and track them on telematics
• Phone drivers when trucks stop too long or go off-route
• Arrange breakdown recovery and replacement vehicles
• Plan daily loads to use full truck capacity

• Knowledge of South African road freight regulations
• Clear on the phone with drivers and customers

• Experience on a vehicle telematics platform
• Previous truck driving experience

• Office-based work with a steady roster
• Training on the fleet and tracking systems

• If you drove trucks before, say so. Controllers who know the road earn quick respect from drivers.
• Give the fleet size and route types you handled, for example "40 trucks, long-haul and local". Hiring managers want scale.
