Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: logistics qualifications, matric certificate and ID plus a CV showing the size of fleet you worked with.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Isando.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

If you drove trucks before, say so. Controllers who know the road earn quick respect from drivers.
Mention the tracking and Excel skills you have. Bring an example report if you are allowed to share one.
