Code 14 and Code 95 are two different worlds. What you actually need before applying.
EU cab, left-hand drive, digital tachograph — the environment Code 95 training prepares you for.
South African drivers know Code 14 (EC) — the heavy articulated licence category. In Europe you will hear another code: Code 95. They sound similar, mean different things — and understanding the difference saves confusion in interviews and paperwork.
No — and this is the key point. Code 95 is earned through training, and for non-EU drivers hired by European carriers, the employer typically arranges the qualification process as part of onboarding. Established Lithuanian carriers know exactly how to take an experienced non-EU driver through the required steps.
What you bring from South Africa is what cannot be trained quickly: real driving experience, a clean record and complete documents. EU qualifications come later, with your employer's support — and with us you pay nothing for that.
EU trucking differs from SA: the strict digital tachograph (4.5 hours driving → 45-minute break, no exceptions), right-hand traffic, winter conditions. Drivers who adapt fastest treat the rules as protection — in the EU, rest time is genuinely enforced and paid.
No. The licence is the right to drive a category; Code 95 is the professional qualification on top. Both are handled in Europe, not South Africa.
Your SA experience and licence are the basis of your application, plus an International Driving Permit for the transition period. EU-side documentation is part of the employer's onboarding.
No. We charge no placement fee at any stage — you pay only for your own documents and flight, directly to institutions.
