Role Overview
Heavy Truck Driver Hiring in Sohar
Sohar employers filling heavy truck driver positions through retail recruitment channels typically spend 4-8 weeks on sourcing, screening, and onboarding - with no guarantee of role-readiness on arrival.

Every worker is screened, documented, and mobilization-cleared before they travel to Sohar.

Process
How Deployment Works
Step 01
Issue Demand Letter
Submit a signed demand letter specifying heavy truck driver headcount, contract duration, wage structure, and accommodation provision. MOM quota application is initiated on Day 1. AK International provides a checklist to prevent the common demand letter errors that delay quota approval.
Step 02
Sourcing & Pre-Screening
Candidates are drawn from established sourcing corridors with verifiable Oman or GCC deployment history. Each profile clears a role-specific practical test, English communication assessment, and full document verification before deployment approval.
Step 03
Departure & Arrival in Sohar
GAMCA medical clearance, police certificate, visa stamp, and pre-departure orientation are coordinated and tracked against your go-live date. Workers depart as a batch and arrive in Sohar ready for Day 1 induction - not staggered across individual days or weeks.
