South African road freight
Trucks find freight. Freight finds trucks.
Log-A-Load is a load matching platform for the South African road freight market. Post a load or find one, agree the terms in writing before the wheels turn, run the trip with tracking and proof of delivery, and settle through the platform.
The return leg is a load in its own right, with its own route, rate and loading date.
A load agreement per engagement, confirmed and signed by both parties on the platform.
Wallet and escrow hold the funds against the load until delivery is proved.
Two sides, one platform
Pick your side. The platform shows you only what your side of the market needs.
Supply side
I have trucks
Fleet owners, transporters, furniture removers, abnormal load operators and heavy haulers.
- Search and filter loads by route, cargo type, rate and loading date
- Fill the empty leg home instead of running it empty
- Register vehicles and drivers once, keep the documents current
- Accept, confirm tonnage and readiness, and have it timestamped
Demand side
I have freight
Shippers, cargo owners, small business operators, corporate logistics, distributors and retailers.
- Post the load with route, cargo type, rate per ton, payment terms and vehicles required
- Reach carriers who are already going that way
- See vehicle and driver compliance before you commit the load
- Track the trip and collect proof of delivery on the record
What the platform does
Routes, settlement, tracking, insurance partners and advertising, in one place.
Routes and matching
Loads carry their route, cargo type, tonnage and loading window. Carriers filter to what suits the fleet and the direction it is already running.
Wallet and escrow
Funds for a load are held against that load and released on the agreed trigger, with a transaction history on both sides of the deal.
Tracking and ETA
Live position and ETA on an active trip, reported from the driver app and visible to the parties on that load.
Proof of delivery
Photographs, the delivery note, quantity and condition, and a signature captured on the device at handover, all attached to the load record.
Insurance partners
Insurance partners have a place on the platform and attach to the load record. Cover and liability are confirmed in writing per engagement and are not published here.
Advertising
Placement for suppliers to the industry, in front of an audience that is already transacting on freight.
Why the paperwork comes first
A load that moves on a phone call has nothing behind it when something goes wrong.
Log-A-Load binds each engagement into one written instrument covering the main load, the return load, the vehicle requirements, non circumvention and the written confirmation, signed by both parties on the platform before loading.
Vehicle and driver compliance is checked before a carrier can accept. Where a document is missing or expired, the platform says so and the load cannot be taken.
How the platform protects a load- Load agreement per engagement, with dual signature capture
- Non circumvention terms carried on the agreement
- Roadworthy, licence and transport documentation gate before acceptance
- Document expiry warnings before they block a load
- Timestamped acceptance and confirmation of readiness to load
- Ratings and trading history between counterparties
