Class 4 & 5 Driver

Hit the Open Road: Class 4 & 5 Drivers Wanted in Taupō!
Are you ready to trade the repetitive city grind for the sweeping vistas of the Central Plateau? We are looking for skilled, reliable, and safety-conscious Class 4 and 5 Drivers to join our frontline team based in the heart of Taupō.
Whether you’re navigating the desert road or handling local distributions, you’ll be the backbone of our logistics, ensuring our cargo reaches its destination with precision and care.
What’s in it for you?

• The View: Forget four white walls; your "office" window offers some of the best scenery in New Zealand.
• Modern Fleet: Take the wheel of well-maintained, late-model rigs equipped with the latest tech to keep you comfortable and safe.
• Work-Life Balance: We offer various shift patterns that let you get home to enjoy everything the Taupō region has to offer—from the lake to the trails.
• Competitive Compensation: A generous hourly rate that reflects your experience and the responsibility you carry.
• Growth: We invest in our people. If you want to upskill or move into specialized transport, we’ll help you get there.

The Role

• Operating Class 4 or 5 heavy vehicles across regional and line-haul routes.
• Ensuring loads are secure, balanced, and delivered on time.
• Conducting daily pre-start checks and maintaining a high standard of vehicle cleanliness.
• Accurately managing logbooks and digital delivery systems.
• Representing our brand with a professional and helpful attitude on the road and at delivery sites.

What You Bring to the Cab

• The Licenses: A clean, valid NZ Class 4 or 5 driver's license (or both!).
• Experience: Proven experience handling heavy combinations or rigid trucks—you know your way around a gearbox and a tight corner.
• Reliability: You’re a "rain or shine" professional who takes pride in punctuality.
• Safety First: A deep understanding of NZTA regulations, work-time rules, and a proactive approach to health and safety.
• Local Knowledge: Familiarity with the Central North Island road networks is a major plus.
