About the Gig
Ready for smooth, predictable interstate linehaul without the headache of sitting around waiting for backloads? Randstad is partnering with a premier refrigerated transport operator for steady, pre-scheduled Adelaide to Melbourne return runs!
You’ll get behind the wheel of a top-shelf, late-model fleet—including brand-new Kenworth K220s—with all freight pre-arranged so you can roll in, get your rest, and get straight back home.
The Run & The Fleet 🛣️🚚
Route: Straight run ADL – MEL and return. No hanging around waiting for dispatch to find a load—all return freight is pre-arranged so your schedule stays tight and predictable.
Rest Setup: One (1) scheduled long rest in Melbourne (sleeping in the cab bunk) before heading straight back home to Adelaide.
The Gear: Drive a modern, impeccably maintained 100% Automatic fleet of Scania, DAF, and newly acquired Kenworth K220 prime movers pulling rear-load refrigerated pans.
Fleet Allocation: Shared fleet model (no dedicated prime mover)—you’ll jump into whichever prime mover is allocated to your outbound Adelaide load.
A Day in the Life
Outbound (ADL – MEL): Hook up to pre-loaded refrigerated trailers out of Adelaide and complete multi-drop deliveries into customer Distribution Centres (DCs) in Melbourne.
Inbound (MEL – ADL): Reload at customer DCs in Melbourne—including occasional coupling/uncoupling and shuffling trailers on and off docks—before returning to Adelaide.
Load Restraint: Properly securing freight using pogo sticks (shoring bars) and baffles.
Cab & Fleet Pride: Refuelling the prime mover before parking up at the end of your trip, and leaving the cab spotless (all personal gear and rubbish cleared out) ready for the next driver.
What We’re Looking For
Licence: Current, valid MC (Multi-Combination) licence (Auto-only restrictions are completely fine!).
BFM Accreditation: Current Basic Fatigue Management (BFM) accreditation is essential.
Experience: Proven interstate MC linehaul experience, confident with refrigerated pans, DC dock work, and coupling/uncoupling.
Pride & Professionalism: A team player who respects shared gear, leaves trucks clean and fuelled, and runs strictly to fatigue and safety regulations.
