You will be responsible for transporting livestock, fruit and veg as well as grains from local farmers into depots within your city. An example of your inbound route would go something like this:

  1. You will deliver eggs to the hatchery and collect day-old chicks from the same hatchery
  2. You will deliver these chicks to various drop-off points that are pre-planned.
  3. You will use the GroDriver app which will calculate your distance and notify us of collection and delivery. 

You’ll be responsible for delivering day-old chicks for GroChick which is the poultry division of GroSpace. You will be responsible for the delivery of healthy fertile eggs from farms to hatcheries around Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and KwaZulu Natal (KZN). You will be given a GroShop which is an online shop where customers can place orders at any time of the day or night on your route schedule and pay for their order before delivery.
