Join Anchor Yeast as an Ultra‑heavy Motor Vehicle Driver
Are you an experienced driver of ultra‑heavy trucks, with a clean record and a passion for safe transport? Anchor Yeast is seeking a high-caliber Ultra‑heavy Motor Vehicle Driver based in Johannesburg to join our Consumer Division team. This role isn’t just about driving huge vehicles — it’s a chance to grow your career with a stable, reputable company while doing meaningful work. If you’ve got the skills, we want you.
About the Role
As the Ultra‑heavy Motor Vehicle Driver for Anchor Yeast, you will be responsible for loading, moving, and offloading heavy cargo on a schedule. You’ll operate superlink, interlink, and combination vehicles, ensuring goods arrive safely and efficiently. Your day-to-day duties include preparing your vehicle, performing vehicle inspections, maintaining logs and documentation, and following all safety and SOP standards. You will also respond to emergencies, report defects, and adhere strictly to compliance and safety protocols.
Given the demanding nature of driving ultra‑heavy trucks, you may be required to work weekends, public holidays, and shifts. You’ll coordinate closely with supervisors, assist with loading or offloading when needed, and uphold the cleanliness and readiness of your vehicle and gear. In essence, you’ll be one of the critical links in Anchor Yeast’s supply chain.
Who Should Apply
This role is ideal for someone who already lives or is willing to travel to Johannesburg and has strong experience in heavy vehicle transport. You should be comfortable with long hours, flexible scheduling, and the responsibility of operating large motor vehicles safely. If you’re disciplined, safety-minded, and have worked in transport or logistics before, this is your opportunity. You’ll thrive in this job if you enjoy driving, take pride in a clean record, and are motivated to perform reliably every day.
Strong communication, attention to detail, and the ability to follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) are essential. You should be physically fit, willing to undergo medical and practical evaluations, and committed to continuous learning and safety compliance.

- Familiarity with defensive driving techniques, vehicle inspections, and reporting of defects
- A clean criminal record and being medically fit for commercial driving
- Your own reliable transport to and from the workplace
- Willingness to work weekends, public holidays, and shifts
You’ll also need good record‑keeping skills, discipline in following SOPs, and basic mechanical awareness to notice vehicle issues. Being proactive in safety, using a fire extinguisher when necessary, and helping with vehicle housekeeping are part of the job. These qualifications ensure you can handle the responsibilities of transporting valuable goods safely on South Africa’s roads.
