A well-established transport company is currently looking for experienced Code 14 (EC) Drivers to join its operations in Standerton. This opportunity is ideal for drivers with solid experience in long-distance and heavy-duty trucking, especially in bulk or tipper transport.

Standerton is known for high trucking activity due to coal, agriculture, and construction logistics, so companies here typically look for drivers who can handle demanding routes and strict schedules.

• Follow all road safety regulations and company procedures
• Report any mechanical faults, incidents, or delays

Minimum Requirements

• Valid Code 14 (EC) driver’s licence
• Valid PDP (Professional Driving Permit)
• Minimum 2–3 years’ experience driving heavy-duty trucks (superlink/side tipper experience is often preferred)
• Clean criminal record
• Medically fit to perform long-distance driving duties
• Good knowledge of road safety and transport regulations

Key Skills and Attributes

• Strong defensive driving skills
• Ability to work long hours and travel long distances
• Good understanding of truck inspections and compliance requirements
• Reliable, disciplined, and able to work under pressure
• Strong attention to detail when handling documentation

Important Notes

• Only candidates who meet the minimum requirements will be considered
• Applicants must ensure all documents (CV, licence, PDP, ID) are up to date
• Experience in side tipper or bulk transport will be a strong advantage

Why This Role Matters

In South Africa, especially in areas like Standerton, companies are very strict on experience over everything. You can have a Code 14, but without real superlink or tipper exposure, it becomes difficult to get shortlisted. Roles like this are usually targeted at drivers who already understand coal routes, weighbridges, and long-haul discipline.
