Services

Johannesburg to Harare, in both directions.

Tautliner interlink transport for palletised freight on the Johannesburg to Harare corridor. We plan for cargo in both directions, so the return journey carries a paying load too.

What we offer

The route

North on the N1 from Johannesburg through Pretoria, Polokwane and Musina to the Beitbridge border post, then on the A4 through Masvingo to Harare. About 1 120 km each way, with overnight stops only at secured truck stops.

The equipment

A 6x4 truck tractor pulling a 6/12 m tautliner interlink. The curtain sides open fully, so pallets can be loaded by forklift from either side. We are specifying air suspension to give fragile and perishable cargo a smoother ride.

The cargo

Palletised freight suited to a curtain-side trailer, including:

  • Fresh produce that travels without refrigeration
  • Building materials such as floor and wall tiles
  • Packaged consumer goods
  • General palletised freight

How a trip runs

From enquiry to invoice.

Every load moves through the same six stages. Each stage has its own form, so nothing depends on memory and every step leaves a record.

  1. Quotation

    A written rate, with transit time, standing time and conditions of carriage.

  2. Booking

    The load is confirmed in writing, with collection and delivery details.

  3. Loading

    Vehicle inspection, load securing, seals and a signed consignment note.

  4. Border

    Customs clearance at Beitbridge through the appointed clearing agent.

  5. Delivery

    The receiver signs the proof of delivery, noting any exceptions.

  6. Invoice

    The invoice is issued with the signed proof of delivery attached.
