Heavy vehicle driving and material haulage

Our heavy drivers operate diverse commercial and heavy transport vehicles: multi-axle dump trucks, flatbed trailers, lowbed heavy equipment transports, water tankers, and fuel trucks. Whether hauling aggregates from quarries, transporting precast concrete elements, or moving steel beams across inter-city corridors, they maintain professional control and defensive driving discipline.

Load securing, pre-trip checks and road safety

Transport safety starts before wheels turn. Drivers carry out pre-trip inspections: tire pressure, tread wear, air brake reservoirs, lights, and horn operation. Load-securing requirements (ratchet straps, chains and binders) are confirmed for each assignment.

Driving regulations and mobilization

Driving regulations in Saudi Arabia enforce strict axle-load limits, driver hour monitoring, and vehicle documentation. The required driving-license class is confirmed for the assignment, and worker documents are reviewed per project. Mobilization of in-Kingdom personnel to project sites anywhere in Saudi Arabia takes 48–72 hours from purchase order (PO), subject to worker documents and site approvals.

Site driving is different from road driving

On a construction or plant site, the risks change. Speeds are low, but pedestrians, plant and blind spots are everywhere; ground can be soft or uneven; and tipping on a slope or near an excavation edge can overturn a vehicle. Many sites require a banksman for reversing and control tipping points. Drivers who have worked inside sites, not only on highways, adapt faster. State whether the work is on-site haulage, road transport or both.

What to check before they start

Check the original driving licence against the copy sent with the CV, and confirm the class covers your vehicle.
Brief your site traffic rules before the first trip: speed limits, routes, reversing rules and banksman use.
Ask for a pre-trip check on your vehicle's own checklist during the first shift, and review it with the driver.
Inspect how the first load is secured, with straps, chains and edge protection, before the vehicle leaves the yard.
Treat boom-truck or HIAB lifts as lifts: they need a rigger and your lifting rules, not just a driver.

Typical crew shape

Heavy drivers usually work within a site logistics team: storekeepers who control what is loaded, forklift operators who load and unload, and a banksman where reversing or tipping is controlled. For boom-truck lifts, a rigger joins to sling and signal. On large sites, a transport supervisor or logistics foreman plans the trips. Send the vehicle list and the haul pattern, and drivers are proposed with the support around them.

Frequently asked questions

Do your heavy drivers hold TUV cards?

Heavy drivers with TUV cards are available where the site requires one, for example for boom-truck or HIAB work. Aramco-certified and non-Aramco drivers are both available. Card copies and the driving licence come with the CV for your approval.

What types of heavy vehicles do your drivers operate?

Our drivers operate multi-axle dump trucks, articulated flatbed trailers, low-bed equipment haulers, water/fuel tankers, and concrete transit mixers.

Do all heavy drivers hold valid Saudi General Heavy driving licenses?

License class and driving experience are checked against the vehicle and project requirements for each assignment. Include the required class in your request.

Are your drivers trained in load securing and cargo strapping?

Yes, against your requirements. Load distribution, strap and chain binder use, and edge protection for steel, pipe and palletized loads are confirmed for the assignment before a driver is put forward.

Can you supply heavy drivers for long-term fleet and infrastructure work?

Yes. State the duration, the number of vehicles and the routes or haul pattern in your RFQ. The supply period and terms are set out in the quotation.

What compliance documentation is provided before a driver takes the wheel?

Worker documents, including iqama, driving license and trade documentation, are reviewed per project before mobilization.
