Transport Controller (Long Haul Fleet)

Behind every truck on the road is a controller; at a road freight company in Soweto, that could be you. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The site is in Soweto; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.
