Free registration • Different driver categories • Direct employer applications
Turkey has one of the largest international road haulage fleets in the region, running goods into the EU, the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Middle East, alongside very large domestic distribution and intercity coach sectors.
FastDriver.eu gives professional drivers one place to create a profile, present their licence categories, add relevant qualifications and apply for suitable vacancies published by employers.
The platform is open to drivers of every nationality. The right to create a profile is different from the legal right to work in Turkey. Every applicant must meet the requirements of the position and hold the necessary work authorisation, residence status, driving licence and professional qualification.
FastDriver.eu does not employ drivers and does not make the final hiring decision. It operates as a driver job portal that helps candidates and employers connect more efficiently. You can browse the driver jobs currently published for Turkey at any time.
Turkish employers publish work across freight, passenger transport, delivery and specialised operations. Check the licence, qualification and experience stated in each vacancy before applying.
Work involving rigid trucks, trucks with trailers, regional freight, international transport and specialised heavy vehicles. The required heavy vehicle licence, professional qualification and experience must match the vacancy.
Passenger transport involving city buses, coaches, tourism routes, private transport and other authorised services. The required passenger vehicle licence and professional qualification depend on the position.
Courier and delivery roles across parcels, meals, retail resupply and medical logistics. A car licence, local knowledge and a good service record are commonly requested.
Local and regional distribution positions involving vans and light commercial vehicles. The required licence depends on the authorised vehicle weight and configuration.
Passenger transport work where the candidate holds the required driving licence and any additional Turkish passenger transport authorisation.
Professional driving for companies, private clients, hotels and transport providers. Employers may request strong communication, discretion and passenger service experience.
Airport, hotel, tourism, employee and passenger transfer work. The required licence depends on the vehicle and the passenger capacity.
Specialised operations including bulk tankers, refrigerated transport, plant and construction vehicles, vehicle recovery and hazardous loads, each with its own certification.
Availability changes constantly. Only positions shown as live vacancies are currently open for applications.
Turkish citizens, EU citizens and nationals of any other country may create a FastDriver.eu driver profile.
Drivers may register while living in Turkey, in another European country or outside Europe.
A complete profile should accurately show your nationality, current residence, work authorisation, driving licence categories, qualifications, experience, language ability, preferred work location and availability.
Creating a profile does not guarantee that every candidate can legally take every driver position. Eligibility depends on the job, the vehicle, the licence category, the employer requirements and the law in Turkey.
Employers across Istanbul Province, Kocaeli Province, Ankara Province, Izmir Province, Bursa Province, Mersin Province, Gaziantep Province and Adana Province publish work through the portal, so select the provinces where you can realistically travel or relocate.
Turkey has 81 Provinces. Route types, vehicle categories and employer requirements vary by province. Select the area where you would like to be based.
The licence required in Turkey depends on the vehicle, the authorised weight, the trailer and the passenger capacity. Always check the category stated in the vacancy.
Light vehicles, taxis, chauffeur work and many delivery vans fall under the ordinary car category. A separate category is normally required once the authorised weight or the trailer combination goes beyond that limit.
Heavy goods work in Turkey uses the national heavy vehicle categories, which distinguish medium commercial vehicles from rigid heavy trucks and from combinations with trailers or semi trailers. Confirm the exact national category named in the vacancy, because it may not map one to one onto the EU letter categories.
Passenger transport uses separate categories for minibuses and for larger buses and coaches, with further entitlement needed where a trailer is attached. Employers state the category they require.
Official category details are published by the Turkish Ministry of Labour and Social Security.
Turkey operates its own SRC professional competence certificate system rather than EU Code 95. An SRC certificate is not automatically equivalent to Code 95, so drivers moving to EU employment usually need to obtain the EU qualification.
Turkey is not an EU, EEA or Schengen member. It is a candidate country with a customs union covering industrial goods, but there is no free movement of persons, so Turkish nationals need work authorisation to be employed in the EU.
Turkey issues licences under the international conventions. Several EU states exchange Turkish licences under bilateral arrangements, but heavy categories are handled restrictively, so verify the position in the destination country.
Drivers who stay in Turkey for more than a short visit should check the applicable residence registration requirements and follow the address registration rules that apply locally.
Foreign nationals working in Turkey need a work permit issued by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, which also serves as a residence permit. For Turkish candidates going to the EU, drivers must satisfy the destination country's permit, visa and qualification requirements, and EU market access rules for Turkish hauliers are separate from individual employment rights.
Registration on FastDriver.eu does not give permission to work or live in Turkey. You can check your own starting position through our driving licence eligibility guidance.
FastDriver.eu may provide general guidance where available. It does not make government decisions, sponsor visas or guarantee approval. Never begin work while visiting Turkey without the required authorisation.
Turkey issues licences under the international conventions. Several EU states exchange Turkish licences under bilateral arrangements, but heavy categories are handled restrictively, so verify the position in the destination country.
A licence issued outside that group may be subject to different recognition, exchange and testing requirements. Required documents, translations, medical checks and practical test requirements depend on the issuing country, any agreement in place and your personal circumstances. Check the position with the licensing authority in Turkey before you rely on it for professional work.
An international driving permit does not replace a valid national licence. FastDriver.eu may provide general guidance, but it cannot approve, convert, renew or validate a licence. Vacancies may also require Code 95 or the equivalent professional qualification, a valid digital tachograph driver card or ADR certification for dangerous goods.
Language requirements depend on the employer, the passengers, the cargo, the routes and the workplace. Turkish may be important for local delivery, passenger transport, taxi work, customer communication and workplace safety, while some international transport employers accept English or another working language.
You must be able to understand the instructions, safety procedures, transport documents and emergency communication required for the position.
The employer will check your original licence, professional qualification, driver card, work authorisation and employment history before you begin work, so keep every document current and readable.

What a driver earns in Turkey depends on the job, employer, licence category, experience, route type, working pattern and any applicable collective agreement.
Work through the detail before you sign: employer, location, vehicle, licence category, schedule, gross salary, overtime, allowances, accommodation and start date.
Open an account and fill in contact information, nationality, current residence, preferred locations and availability.
Pick the driver categories that genuinely fit the entitlements, background and certificates you hold.
Add your driving licence categories, professional driver qualification, driver card, ADR certificate, passenger transport documents and other relevant evidence.

Send applications only where your entitlements, experience and right to work genuinely fit the advert.
Expect possible interviews, reference requests, document checks or a driving assessment from interested employers.
Go through the contract carefully: employer identity, gross salary, deductions, schedule, accommodation terms and duties.
Settle the formalities first: work authorisation, residence status, licence recognition, professional qualification and travel.
Have these details ready before you register. Upload only genuine, readable and current information.
Never purchase a guaranteed job, visa, work permit or licence approval from an unknown person.
Provide truthful information about your identity, driving licence, experience, qualifications, language ability and work authorisation.
Do not list an entitlement or certificate you do not actually have, because originals are checked before you start.
Do not pay anyone who offers certain employment, a visa or a permit in exchange for money.
Confirm the company exists, read the contract, check the pay and housing terms and understand the process before you travel.
A message on a chat app is not an offer. Keep your current job until you hold something formal.
