Anybody here doing it and what do they get paid? Did it years ago.
Is thinking of doing it again maybe. See the country and out of the workshop / office.

Average between R8-12000 per month. Some get around R15000 (the real long distance drivers), and the cross border guys as high as R27000. Single driver salary usually higher, cost to company plays a role when it's two drivers per vehicle.

I'm sure they see plenty, interesting life

What do you need anyway? PdP and code 14?

 

[lancon]

Yip and patience.
They call it "tranesport" for a reason.

I'd love to do something like this for a year or two. It's a huge thing in Aus with having to cover vast distances.

Remember seeing a doccie about them. Most of them are STD and HIV ridden because of all the sextrepreneurs they pick up on their long journeys.
