      Thinking about starting a transport business?

      Forecasts indicate that the demand for freight transport will grow in South Africa by between 200% and 250% over the 15 to 20 years.

      Some corridors, (high volume transport routes that connect major centres), such as the corridors between Gauteng and Cape Town (which amount to 50% of all corridor transport) will increase even faster.

      The scope in the transport and logistics industry is varied – from a one-man show using a small truck to transport goods and offer services, to a fleet of transport vehicles which travel the length and breadth of South Africa’s roads.

      Road transportation includes commuter transport from taxis to bus transportation.

      It can be a tough industry and there are many threats facing transport businesses but if you get it right, you can build a successful business.

      What is covered in this guide:

      1. How to start your transport and logistics business
      2. How to get funding for your transport business
      3. What are the costs involved
      4. Finding customers and getting transport contracts
      5. Getting onto suppliers lists
      6. Buying trucks and employing drivers
      7. What are the regulations and risks
      8. Where to find guidance to start your business.
