Trucks, drivers, loads and deadlines all meet on your screen at a bus and coach operator in Roodepoort. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is in Roodepoort (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Arrange breakdown recovery and replacement vehicles
• Keep a register of PrDP and licence expiry dates for all drivers
• Assign trucks and drivers to routes and track them on telematics
• Check driver hours so nobody drives too long without rest
• Compile daily reports on trips completed and late deliveries
• Plan daily loads to use full truck capacity

• Knowledge of South African road freight regulations
• Good with Excel and email
• Clear on the phone with drivers and customers
• Calm and decisive when things go wrong
• Matric

• 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.
