Help us deliver like never before  
Are you motivated by getting behind the wheel of one of our iconic red trucks to deliver for customers? As our Heavy Vehicle Truck Driver, you’ll be the face of our trusted business, at the heart of your community and connecting businesses with their customers, and communities with each other day-in, day-out. You might not be working from home, but you’ll be on the road as a staple of your community, and it doesn’t get better than that!  

You’ll be  
  • Starting and finishing each day at the facility in Mornington TAS, with start times rotating between 4:00AM and 12:00PM, 
  • Safely loading your truck with cages for delivery  
  • Completing your own daily vehicle safety check

  • Returning to our operational centres to unload pick-ups  
  • Earning up to $33.48 per hour, inclusive of shift penalty

About you

You’ll also need to    
  • Be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident  
  • Hold a relevant Heavy Combination or higher class vehicle license  
  • Be safety-focused and understand the importance of chain of responsibility

  • Be fit enough to load and unload parcels of all different shapes, sizes and weights  
  • Be prepared to provide a driving history report, undergo a pre-employment medical and drug/alcohol screening and national police checks.    

How we’ll deliver for you  
  • Drive our iconic fleet and benefit from competitive permanent rates, rotating rosters and operate in a safe and inclusive working environment  
  • We invest in you for the long-term, encouraging growth through delivering on our values of trust, inclusivity, empowerment and safety  
  • Be part of a culture where everybody feels they belong, are valued, and can bring their authentic self to work every day.
