HFR Transport Gears Up for Expansion – Urgently Hiring Experienced Long-Distance Drivers

Gauteng – 4 June 2025

As demand for reliable refrigerated freight continues to surge across South Africa, HFR Transport, a major player in the logistics sector, is on a mission to grow its fleet of professional long-distance drivers.

In a national recruitment campaign, the company has announced open positions for Code 14 and Code 10 drivers with a specific focus on those experienced in refrigerated trucking – a specialised field critical to maintaining cold-chain integrity in the transport of perishables and pharmaceuticals.

“We are looking for drivers who are not just experienced, but also committed to the standards required in cold-chain logistics,” said an HFR spokesperson. “Refrigerated freight is sensitive cargo. It takes discipline, punctuality, and an understanding of temperature control and vehicle care to deliver safely.”

Key requirements include a valid Code 14 licence with PrDP, a minimum of five years’ truck driving experience, and at least one year handling refrigerated loads. Applicants must also have a clean criminal record and be ready for long-distance, overnight travel.

Beyond the technical requirements, HFR places a strong emphasis on reliability, safety, and integrity. All applicants must provide contactable references, preferably with landline numbers, as part of the verification process.

With depots in Gauteng and routes across all provinces, this opportunity gives successful drivers the chance to travel across South Africa, while working for a stable employer in one of the country’s most critical sectors.
