Professional Code 14 Driver Job at L&M Crosslink Logistics

L&M Crosslink Logistics has listed a full-time Professional Code 14 Driver opportunity based at its Kempton Park head office. The position is intended for an experienced heavy-vehicle driver who can transport goods safely, follow road traffic requirements and maintain accurate trip and delivery records.

Professional drivers play a major role in the logistics industry. They help move goods between collection points, depots, distribution centres and customers. Safe driving, vehicle inspections, careful load handling and reliable communication are important because delays or mistakes can affect customers and transport operations.

About the position

The employer describes the role as full-time and permanent. The advertised monthly salary range is R18,000 to R28,000. Applicants should confirm the remuneration structure, route expectations and any additional employment terms directly with the company before accepting an offer.

The listing specifies a minimum of five years of active Code 14 driving experience. It also describes local and cross-border transport duties, with experience in the Southern African Development Community region listed as advantageous.

Minimum requirements

According to the employer’s listing, applicants should have:

• A valid Code EC, commonly referred to as Code 14, driver’s licence with at least five years of active experience.
• A valid Professional Driving Permit for goods vehicles.
• A current medical certificate of fitness that is not older than six months, as specified in the advert.
• Experience operating heavy commercial vehicles, including truck-tractor combinations or super-links.
• Knowledge of vehicle inspections and basic defect reporting.

A dangerous goods permit is listed as advantageous. Refrigerated transport experience is also identified as an advantage rather than a compulsory requirement in the listing.

Main duties

The role requires the driver to operate heavy vehicles in compliance with road traffic laws, follow applicable driving-hour and rest-period rules, and avoid unsafe behaviour while driving.

The employer also describes responsibilities related to vehicle care and documentation. These include conducting inspections before, during and after trips, keeping logbooks and trip records accurate, and ensuring that permits and vehicle documents are valid and available.

Drivers are expected to pay attention to cargo integrity. This means checking loads at collection and delivery points, reporting damage or shortages, and ensuring that goods are loaded and secured appropriately.

The listing also highlights security procedures for higher-risk routes and cargo, including compliance with tracking requirements and check-in procedures.

Experience and professional conduct

Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate their heavy-vehicle driving experience and familiarity with transport documentation. A CV should clearly identify the licence category held, relevant driving experience and any valid permits or certificates that the employer requires.

Safe driving practices are essential. Candidates should be able to explain how they conduct vehicle checks, report defects, protect cargo and follow procedures during long-distance or cross-border journeys.

Do not claim experience with super-links, refrigerated transport or cross-border routes unless you have actually performed that work. The employer may ask for details during screening or an interview.
