We are seeking an experienced Semi Trailer Driver who loves being on the road and knows motorcycles. We're looking for a reliable, experienced driver to join our specialist motorcycle transport team.
Melbourne based
THE ROLE
During the busy/peak season, the main run will be:
Melbourne - Perth - Melbourne
The Perth return trip generally takes around 1.5 weeks, with the run operating approximately every second week during peak periods. When things are quieter, you'll be running the semi to other locations across Australia depending on freight and business requirements. This is not a straight linehaul position - you may have multiple pickups and deliveries along the way. You'll be transporting approximately 18-20 motorcycles per run, so this role involves plenty of hands-on work.
THE ROLE INCLUDES
- Interstate motorcycle transport
- Melbourne - Perth - Melbourne runs
- Multi-drop pickups and deliveries
- Loading, unloading, moving and positioning motorcycles
- Securing motorcycles safely for transport
- Regular handling of large and heavy motorcycles
- Customer communication and paperwork
- Extended periods away from home
IMPORTANT
You must be comfortable and physically capable of independently moving, handling and positioning motorcycles weighing 350kg+. This is a genuine hands-on role and motorcycle knowledge and confidence handling larger bikes is essential.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- HC or MC licence
- Proven semi trailer driving experience
- Interstate driving experience
- Strong load restraint knowledge
- Good motorcycle knowledge and experience
- Comfortable handling large/heavy motorcycles 350kg+
- Logbook and fatigue management knowledge
- Reliable and safety-focused
- Good communication skills
- Comfortable being away from home for extended periods
WHAT WE OFFER
- Full-time ongoing employment
- Regular Melbourne-Perth return runs during peak periods
- Additional interstate work when required
- Cents/km plus loading/unloading payments and allowances
- Sleeper truck provided
- Training provided
- Outstanding team environment with great machines
If you're looking for the same run every week this probably isn't for you. If you enjoy interstate travel, variety and getting your hands dirty we'd like to hear from you.
