A Code 14 Driver is needed in Odendaalsrus. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the Free State operation.
About This Position
This Code 14 Driver role sits within the logistics jobs function in Odendaalsrus. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Free State.
Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Odendaalsrus teams, and the new Code 14 Driver will feel that from the first week.
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 Odendaalsrus.
Your Future Here
On top of that, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Odendaalsrus have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Odendaalsrus have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Free State.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Odendaalsrus team member.
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 Odendaalsrus.
The Odendaalsrus 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.
On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
Equal Opportunity
Beyond that, the organisation is committed to fair, merit-based recruitment and equal opportunity. Applications are assessed against the published role requirements in line with applicable employment law.
Importantly, the hiring organisation’s applicable employment-equity and inclusion practices will be explained in the final vacancy details for Free State.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
