What This Role Involves
An experienced Code 14 Driver is needed to support operations in Phuthaditjhaba. The role forms part of how the business keeps its logistics jobs portfolio strong in Free State.
The organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the Code 14 Driver taking on this position.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Code 14 Driver to step into the logistics jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the logistics jobs group in Phuthaditjhaba.
A Typical Day
Your day kicks off in the yard or at the dock, checking schedules, briefing your team and lining up the day’s priorities. You move between receiving, picking, dispatch and the WMS, keeping a close eye on accuracy and time slots. There are constant conversations — with drivers, controllers, customers and the warehouse floor — and the better you communicate, the smoother things run. By the end of the shift, the racks are tidy, the trucks are out, and the next inbound load is already on its way.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Phuthaditjhaba.
In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
Equally, the Phuthaditjhaba office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
