For Drivers

Get matched to fleets that pay properly.

Join South Africa's pre-verified 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.

Verified once, trusted always

Document checks happen once. Multiple fleets see your verified profile without re-verification.

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

    Verification & Shyft Score

    We verify your documents and assign your Shyft Score — the composite signal fleets use to rank profiles.

  3. 3

    Get matched to fleets

    Fleet owners searching your area and vehicle class see your masked profile alongside other vetted drivers.

  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.

I love that my contact details aren't out there. Only the fleet that's serious gets them.
