A truck driver landed in hot water after being caught driving with two ladies in the vehicle.
The Facebook group 'SA TRUCK KING. WE ARE trucking' shared a screenshot of forwarded WhatsApp messages from someone presumed to be a truck boss to the truck driver, whose name appears to be Moses.
In the screenshot, Moses is caught in the act, sitting in the driver's seat while the two ladies converse, sitting in the middle.
Forwarded messages in the WhatsApp chat read that a tracking company phoned Moses's superiors to inform them that the driver had extra passengers onboard.
Not taking any nonsense, one of the messages from the superior read:
"Moses. You are on the verge of losing your job."

Internet comments on the truck driver and his passengers
Over one thousand comments flooded the hilarious post. Some people found humour in the conversation, while others sympathised with Moses.
Taking the side of the truck driver, Aloisius Alexander said:
"I think it gets lonely on the road sometimes, company is good."
Laughing at the situation, Sandile EswatiniGiant commented:
"Moses and his boss just made my day, yoh."
On a serious note, Lethu Mazibuko wrote:
"It's a problem when the same passengers set you up to be hijacked."
Sharing their own experience, Mlibos Mabheleni Sigaga wrote:
"Those days of picking up passengers are gone now... You can't even smoke inside the truck. That camera can even pick up your conversation with someone else if you are talking inside the truck."
CEO of the Road Freight Association comments on truck driver picking up passengers
Gavin Kelly, the CEO of the Road Freight Association (RFA), told Briefly News that some trucking companies may not allow their drivers to pick up passengers to safeguard them from highjackings or common theft.
The RFA big boss further explained:
"Easpecially when the persons are unknown, there is no guarantee of what the intentions of the passengers might be. There may also be insurance and third party liability consequences for the trucking company."
When asked what the consequences of getting caught picking up passengers were, Gavin stated:
"Each trucking company has different rules, so each reaction will not be the same. Some drivers may face a disciplinary hearing, others may not."

The female driver, whose name is @kholiwehlela on TikTok, reposted the clip of the woman paying her compliments.
