SetaJobs role guide
What driving for a living actually involves
SetaJobs’ guide to professional driving posts in South Africa, written for someone applying for their first one.
The licence and permit are checked first and hard: the correct code for the vehicle, a valid Professional Driving Permit, and no disqualifying endorsements. Employers then look at your driving record and outstanding fines, run criminal and sometimes credit checks for cash or high-value loads, and put you through a practical driving assessment before making an offer. Dangerous goods work requires the relevant PrDP category and hazchem training on top.

What this kind of post involves
A permanent post is ongoing employment with no end date, carrying full benefits and, in the public service, a defined salary level with annual notch progression. These are advertised competitively and the selection process is considerably more formal than for programme placements.

The screening is mechanical and happens before anyone reads your CV: the advert’s own application instructions are applied as written, and an incomplete or unsigned form is discarded whatever the rest of the application says.
