Built for the long haul.
A 205-vehicle operation moving bulk, breakbulk, containerised and project cargo across the SADC corridor — every vehicle GPS-tracked, every consignment client-visible.
A decade of cargo, moved.
Officially operating as Veteran Resources since 2025 — drawing on more than a decade of leadership experience moving cargo across Southern Africa since 2014.
The right vehicle
for every cargo.
A diversified fleet matched to the cargo. Wrong equipment is wrong economics — and wrong economics is what kills logistics businesses.
Tri-axle flatbeds
For containerised cargo (20ft, 40ft, 40HC) and palletised general freight. Loaded at port, sealed in transit, opened at destination.
Side-tippers
Bulk mining cargo — copper concentrate, manganese, sulphur, bulk reagents. Tipped clean, weighed in and out.
Fuel tankers
ADR-compliant tankers for petroleum products and lubricants — with full hazardous cargo documentation and trained drivers.
Curtainsiders
FMCG, industrial cargo, and general freight — fast loading and unloading, with weather protection in transit.
Lowbeds
Heavy and abnormal cargo — mining equipment, transformers, plant machinery. Permits, escorts, and route surveys handled in-house.
Reefer-capable
Temperature-controlled cargo — agricultural produce, pharmaceuticals, and other cold-chain freight where temperature integrity is non-negotiable.
Visible, continuously.
Every vehicle in the fleet runs telematics. Position, speed, route, idle time, fuel use, and harsh-event reporting all logged and accessible — to operations centrally, and to clients on the consignments that matter to them.
A truck you can't see is a truck you can't manage.
And cargo you can't show is cargo a client can't trust.
- Real-time GPS. Position updated continuously — visible to dispatchers and surfaced to clients via the consignment tracking portal.
- Route compliance. Geofenced corridors and approved routes; deviations alert the operations centre immediately.
- Driver behaviour. Speed, harsh braking, harsh acceleration and idle time logged per driver — feeding back into training and performance reviews.
- Fuel monitoring. Consumption tracked against route and load — anomalies investigated, not absorbed.
- Border timestamps. Arrival and departure at each border post is captured — useful for both billing and process improvement.
- Client visibility. Tracking links shared on a per-consignment basis — clients see only their cargo, not the wider fleet.
People behind
the wheel.
A truck is only as professional as the driver in the cab. We invest in our drivers — because cross-border cargo hangs on the choices made on the road, at the border, and in the truck stop.
Hours-of-service
Drivers operate on rotation with proper rest schedules. Hours-of-service compliance is enforced at the dispatch level — not left to the driver alone after a long day on the road.
Cross-border training
SADC cross-border procedures, customs documentation handling, and conduct at border posts are part of standing driver training. Drivers know the process, not just the route.
Hazardous cargo
Drivers handling fuel, chemicals, or other hazmat cargo receive ADR-equivalent training and carry the relevant endorsements before being assigned to those loads.
Welfare on the road
Long-haul drivers are routed through approved truck stops and overnight points. Health checks and mandatory rest are scheduled — not left to the driver to negotiate against the clock.
Maintenance & compliance.
A truck off the road earns nothing. Maintenance is built into the operation — workshop access, scheduled servicing, and proactive replacement of wear parts before they fail on a remote stretch of corridor.
- Scheduled servicing. Routine service intervals tracked per vehicle in the fleet management system, with service due-dates surfaced to dispatch before allocation.
- Pre-trip inspections. Standard pre-trip checklist before every cross-border allocation — tyres, brakes, lights, fluids, documents.
- Breakdown response. Roadside breakdown protocol with workshop response and recovery procedures across the corridor.
- Tyre management. Tyre life, pressure, and wear pattern tracked — tyres are the largest variable maintenance cost on this corridor and we treat them accordingly.
- Cross-border permits. SADC cross-border road permits maintained current per vehicle, per route.
- COMESA Yellow Card. Third-party motor insurance valid across the COMESA bloc carried on every vehicle running cross-border.
- Country-specific entry permits. Bilateral and multilateral road permits for countries of operation handled centrally — drivers don't queue at borders for missing papers.
- Roadworthiness. Annual inspections per vehicle, plus proactive replacement of safety-critical components ahead of statutory dates.
