Responsibilities
Metal goods are loaded onto the truck overnight by the night shift, ensuring you can depart first thing in the morning with a fully loaded truck. Throughout the day, you'll make approximately 15 stops to deliver materials to various customers.

- You will check all key components essential to the safety and optimal functioning of your vehicle, such as oil level, tyre pressure, tyre condition, etc.
- You will report any defects and/or damage to the vehicle to the authorised persons at Transport Luypaert.
