• Report mechanical issues, damage, accidents, or safety hazards immediately, and cooperate with maintenance teams to keep the vehicle in line with preventive service schedules.
• Protect cold-chain integrity by monitoring temperature conditions, securing loads properly, and using safe handling practices throughout each trip and during loading and unloading.
• Plan and alter routes as needed using Google Maps or other approved navigation tools to avoid congestion, road closures, or weather-related delays.
• Keep the assigned vehicle fueled, clean, and ready for the next dispatch, and check that all cargo is secured before departure.
• Record trip details accurately, including journey logs, fuel consumption, delivery confirmations, and inspection findings, and submit these documents to the logistics team.
• Maintain clear communication with dispatch and warehouse teams about progress, delays, or incidents, and follow emergency procedures if a breakdown or accident occurs.

• Minimum KCSE certificate; a diploma or higher qualification is considered a strong advantage.
• Valid driving license with at least class CE, authorizing operation of the heavy vehicles used for this work.
• At least three years of proven experience in commercial or long-haul driving, ideally with perishable or time-sensitive freight.
• Clean driving record and solid knowledge of Kenyan road networks, traffic laws, and NTSA compliance requirements.
• Comfort using navigation apps such as Google Maps and basic digital tools for trip recording and communication.
• Basic mechanical knowledge to identify early signs of vehicle trouble and perform minor roadside checks.
• Strong attention to detail, good verbal communication, and a proactive, team-oriented attitude.
• Willingness to travel long distances and work flexible hours, including nights and weekends when delivery schedules require it.
