Attach your truck or drive with SSL: how to start, step by step

There are two ways to work with SSL on the road. Pick the one that fits you.

Route 1: you own one or more trucks

This is a partnership, not a job. You keep your vehicle and SSL offers you loads on lanes you choose.

1. Collect your details. Your base city, how many trucks you have, the vehicle types, your permit (national, state or some of each), and whether GPS is fitted.
2. Note your lanes. Write down the routes you prefer. SSL also looks for the load home as well as the load out, so your base city matters.
3. Keep your papers handy. Keep your RC and permit photos ready. You can add them on the form or share them with the partner desk.
4. Fill the sign-up form. The only contact detail you must give is your mobile number, and the other fields are optional. You can also talk to the partner desk on WhatsApp.
5. Take the call. The partner desk calls you back. Payment terms are shared in writing before your first trip.
6. Get offered loads. Trips are offered on the lanes you chose.

Route 2: you are a driver

This is a job. SSL hires drivers for heavy trucks, trailers, reefers, tankers and city vehicles, plus pickup and delivery riders and helpers who learn the job on the road.

1. Choose the role closest to what you do. Heavy truck, trailer, reefer, tanker, light commercial vehicle, rider or helper.
2. Apply once on the careers page. Mention other roles you could do in the “Anything else” box.
3. Wait for the HR desk. HR calls you when there is work that fits your area and experience.

Applying is free at every step.

Which route is mine?

• You own the truck and want loads for it: route 1.
• You want to be employed as a driver: route 2.
• You own a truck and also want a driving job: do both, separately.
