ROAD FREIGHT & CARGO

Road Freight Overview

From short to super-long-haul runs Alistair Group can serve your road freight needs in the South and East Africa region. Our fleet consists of exceptionally well-maintained and reliable vehicles, allowing us to offer an efficient service and accurate delivery times for cargo in transit. The fleet adheres to international safety standards and include the following vehicle and trailer types:

Drivers

All drivers operating our vehicles have years of experience transporting in the region, and many have long tenures working with the company. Training is paramount to our success and our road freight drivers undergo regular instruction in accordance with our training matrix at our in-house facility. Driving is restricted to daylight hour only, and drivers are monitored to ensure they are in a safe parking area by sunset.

Maintenance

The Alistair Group understands first hand the impact of preventive maintenance on our reliability and delivery times. Alistair Group runs extensive workshop facilities at all of our road freight maintenance sites with a full team of qualified welders, painters, mechanics, tyre technicians and electricians. Our stores keep an extensive inventory of replacement parts and consumables on-site to allow for quick turnarounds in servicing our road freight fleet.

Fleet Management

Alistair Group provides customer-centric support with the ability to update any client, any time, about the status and location of its cargo. Each vehicle is outfited with a GPS tracking unit and status updates are emailed to clients twice per day. The tracking system is directly integrated with our SAP enterprise management program allowing efficient monitoring of driver performance and automatic alerts in case of speeding, night driving, or a deviation from the route.
