Transport Controller (Long Haul Fleet) – Permanent

Behind every truck on the road is a controller; at a bus and coach operator in Tembisa, that could be you. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work is in Tembisa, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

• Plan daily loads to use full truck capacity
• Compile daily reports on trips completed and late deliveries
• Update customers on delivery times and delays
• Check driver hours so nobody drives too long without rest
• Assign trucks and drivers to routes and track them on telematics

• Clear on the phone with drivers and customers
• Good with Excel and email
• At least 2 years in transport or logistics
• Calm and decisive when things go wrong

• Cellphone allowance for standby shifts
• 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.
