Pay, shifts and practical details
This is a permanent, onsite role in Auckland’s Mt Wellington working on a roster with day shifts. The job includes linehaul, metro and local runs, and you’ll have the chance to receive on-the-job training as you settle in. The company offers a competitive hourly rate.

Advice for applicants
Your resume should lead with the Class 5 licence and your driving experience so it’s clear you meet the core requirement. In describing your background, emphasize specific instances where you drove safely, met deadlines and followed standard processes, and don’t shy away from mentioning forklift work if you’ve done it. Prepare examples that show you prioritise health and safety and road safety in real-world driving scenarios. Think of a concise story you can share about delivering reliable customer service under pressure, and be ready to talk about how you handle rostered shifts and variable daily routes. When you get to the interview, have a precise question ready about the balance between linehaul, metro and local runs and what the health and driving assessments will evaluate. For your question, you could ask what a typical day looks like and how the team measures safety and on-time delivery.
