For Drivers

Get matched to fleets that pay properly.

Join Drive Shyft's South African driver network. We never charge drivers — fleet owners pay a placement fee when they decide to onboard you.

Always free for drivers

Drive Shyft never charges drivers. The fleet pays the placement fee — you keep what you earn.

One profile for fleet opportunities

Upload your documents and add references to one profile that fleet owners can review.

Build your Shyft Score

Each placement and review builds your reputation. Higher scores get matched first.

The driver journey

From sign-up to behind the wheel, in six clear steps.

  1. 1

    Create your driver profile

    Sign up, add your ID, driver's licence, PrDP and the suburbs, vehicle classes and languages you work in.

  2. 2

    Document checks & Shyft Score

    We review your documents and calculate your Shyft Score — a composite signal fleets use to compare profiles.

  3. 3

    Get matched to fleets

    Fleet owners searching your area and vehicle class see your masked profile alongside other drivers in the network.

  4. 4

    A fleet expresses interest

    You get notified by email with the fleet's company name and city. No contact details are exchanged at this stage.

  5. 5

    Fleet pays the placement fee

    Your full contact details are only released to that fleet once they pay the success fee. You never pay anything.

  6. 6

    Start driving

    Agree your terms with the fleet, get on the road, and earn. A review afterwards builds your Shyft Score.

POPIA-protected

Your data is never sold. Fleets only see what they need to make a decision.

Contact stays private

No phone numbers or emails leave the platform until a fleet has paid to onboard you.

Your reputation, portable

Your Shyft Score travels with you across every fleet you work with.
