  • Assign trucks and drivers to routes and track them on telematics
  • Plan daily loads to use full truck capacity
  • Book vehicle services, licence renewals and roadworthy tests
  • Update customers on delivery times and delays
  • Check driver hours so nobody drives too long without rest

  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a CV showing the size of fleet you worked with plus matric certificate and ID.
