Transport Controller (Long Haul Fleet) – Immediate Start

You'll plan the loads and watch the trucks for a distribution depot in Paarl, keeping every trip on time. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

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

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

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

• Transport management system (TMS) experience
• Experience on a vehicle telematics platform

• Training on the fleet and tracking systems
• Office-based work with a steady roster
• Cellphone allowance for standby shifts

• 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.
