Truck Driver - HC Long Haul

The open road isn't for everyone. If it's for you — read on.

Long haul driving is one of the last genuinely independent jobs left. You're making decisions on your own, managing your run, solving problems before they become someone else's crisis, and covering ground most people only see from a plane window.

CHILL is a national cold chain logistics business running interstate freight across the Sydney–Melbourne–Brisbane corridor. We're looking for an experienced HC driver who treats the job like a profession — because that's exactly what it is.

The run

Regular interstate routes — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane. Overnight stays are part of the role and built into the schedule so you know what your week looks like before it starts. Based out of our Brookvale depot — close to the Northern Beaches, easy Pacific Highway access, and well clear of the congestion that makes inner-west starts a grind.

Temperature-controlled freight means the standard is higher than a standard linehaul run. You'll be monitoring temperatures, completing PODs correctly, and managing your fatigue log in line with HVNL requirements. If that sounds like your normal — good. That's who we're looking for.

What we're looking for

A current HC licence and a clean record. Three (3) min to five (5) or more years of interstate or long haul experience. Mechanical awareness — you don't need to be a mechanic, but you need to know when something's not right and what to do about it before it becomes a problem at 11pm on the Hume. HVNL and CoR aware. Comfortable with delivery tech — POD systems, vehicle inspection apps, temperature logging.

This role suits someone who is self-sufficient, methodical, and takes pride in a clean run. We're not looking for someone who needs managing on the road.

Some of the other (but essential) details:

• HC licence (with no driving disqualifications within the last 3 years and BFM certified)
• Forklift ticket (advantageous) paid for loading and unloading your vehicle.
• Physically fit, to lift between 5-20kgs. Must provide a medical fit to work.
• Tech-savvy and familiar with using Electronic Work Diary (EWD)
• National Police Check

What CHILL offers

HC casual rate: $47.19/hr. Overnight allowances apply. Consistent schedule — you'll know your nights away in advance. A professionally maintained fleet with roadside support. A small, tight operation where you're known by name, not by employee number.
