Truck Loader (Night Shift) – Entry Level

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this cement and brick yard in Cape Town CBD, and you move the stock in between. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is in Cape Town CBD (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop

• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts

• Past work as a driver's assistant
• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)

• Uniform and safety shoes provided
• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• Meal allowance on long-route days

• Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
