7R Logistics is currently looking for a milk tanker driver to be based at Mt Gambier. We welcome experienced MC drivers as well as those looking to upgrade their HR or HC license - we can help with that. Permanent or casual work can be arranged - we'll work around your preferences as much as we can. We also have a great workshop facility at the depot, so equipment should always be in excellent condition.

Who is 7R Logistics?
Having established an industry leading reputation for integrity, service and reliability over the past decades interstate in liquid transport, 7R trucks have become a common sight in the Mt Gambier region. 7R's values are based in:

• Safety
• Customer focus
• Openness and integrity
• Team culture and support
• High quality equipment
• Opportunity and fairness
• Continual improvement in process and technology - there is always a better way
• Ongoing personal development - everyone can learn, contribute and grow

The Role

The work involves collecting milk from local farms and delivering to local factories on some shifts, or driving to Adelaide and back on others. This means there's plenty of variety and interest in the work. There are processes you'll learn around food hygiene and safety, and we'll also work with you on driving routines and schedules too.

Shift length is often in the 12-14 hour range, and you can go home at the end of every shift – no multi-day trips. There is no time-pressure, and we encourage you to drive carefully and take the breaks you need to manage your safety and fatigue.

The roster for the team covers 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, with drivers rotating through days on and off fairly, generally on a 4 - 4 pattern. There are often opportunities for extra work, so long as we know your fatigue is being managed. The roster is set out in advance, so you can plan your home and work life balance.

Training

Our vehicles are a mix of A-doubles and B-doubles, so you will need an MC license to operate them on your own. However, we know there are some great drivers who are just looking for an opportunity, so if you have an HC or even HR license, we can help you to upgrade to MC through a local training provider so long as you are willing to commit.

Full training for the milk collection is also provided and you will find there is always support available for questions that come up as you work.

You

You’ll need:

• MC license, or willingness to upgrade from HC or HR – we can help you with that.
• A sound driving history.
• Cooperative, considerate and inclusive work habits.
• To prioritise your own safety and wellbeing, and that of others at work and on the road.
• Comfort with basic technology systems.
• To be professional, well-presented, fit, drug and alcohol free before and through every shift.
• To have BFM or be willing to get BFM certification (we can help to guide you through that).

Benefits

Apart from terrific equipment, a supportive culture, plenty of hours, and a predictable and safe roster, we offer an excellent rate of pay with night loadings and weekend allowances too. We also offer monthly and annual performance-based bonuses that you should expect to achieve. The opportunity to upgrade your license is also very valuable.

With drivers of over 20-years+ standing, if you also share our values want to consolidate your career, it is easy to see that 7R is an employer you would want to work for.
