Job Description

Behind every truck on the road is a controller; at a distribution depot in Komani, that could be you. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work is in Komani, Eastern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What your day looks like

  • Phone drivers when trucks stop too long or go off-route
  • Book vehicle services, licence renewals and roadworthy tests
  • Capture trip sheets, fuel and toll costs on the system
  • Keep a register of PrDP and licence expiry dates for all drivers
  • Assign trucks and drivers to routes and track them on telematics
  • Arrange breakdown recovery and replacement vehicles
  • Plan daily loads to use full truck capacity

You'll need

  • At least 2 years in transport or logistics
  • Good with Excel and email
  • Able to work shifts in a 24-hour control office
  • Knowledge of South African road freight regulations
  • Calm and decisive when things go wrong
  • Clear on the phone with drivers and customers

Helpful, not essential

  • Knowledge of cross-border documentation
  • Transport management system (TMS) experience

On offer

  • Office-based work with a steady roster
  • Cellphone allowance for standby shifts
  • Growth to transport manager

  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): matric certificate and ID plus logistics qualifications.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.
