Big changes for Checkers Sixty60
Checkers Sixty60 is set to undergo a series of changes, with ownership structures and drivers affected.
Despite wearing Checkers colours and branding, Sixty60 drivers are not actually employed by Checkers or its parent company, Shoprite – yet.
Shoprite uses Pingo, a joint venture with RTT On-Demand, which relies on over 6,000 independent drivers for last-mile logistics.
Shoprite was heavily criticised for its outsourcing, which many argued allowed it to distance itself from direct responsibility for the drivers’ working conditions.
Experts stated that the model pushed drivers to maximise their time on the road, creating dangerous working conditions.
