Frequently Asked Questions

What is the legal truck load limit in Africa?
Load limits vary by country and road type. In Kenya, the legal gross vehicle weight for a rigid truck is 48 tonnes, but axle loads are strictly monitored. Nigeria enforces 12 tonnes per single axle on federal highways. South Africa uses a sophisticated axle load management system. Overloading in Africa is common but leads to road damage and heavy fines at weigh stations.
What does cost per tonne-km mean in logistics?
Cost per tonne-km is a standard logistics efficiency metric: total cost of a trip divided by the tonnes carried and the kilometres travelled. It allows comparison across different routes, loads, and transport modes. In Africa, cost per tonne-km averages $0.05-0.15 for large trucks, but can exceed $0.30 for inefficient or partial loads, compared to $0.02-0.05 in Europe.
When should I consolidate loads?
Load consolidation (combining multiple small loads into one truck) makes financial sense when: (1) utilization is below 70%, (2) customers are in similar directions, (3) waiting time to consolidate is less than 24-48 hours. An empty or half-loaded truck costs almost as much to run as a full one. Consolidation can reduce per-unit logistics costs by 30-50%.
