With strategically positioned offices at South Africa’s key road border posts, Ziegler South Africa is ideally placed to manage cross-border road freight across Southern Africa.
We provide both Full Truck Load (FTL) and Less-than-Truck Load (LTL) transport services, supported by comprehensive border management including customs clearance, permits, SADC Certificates of Origin, and all related compliance requirements. Our teams coordinate closely with border authorities to ensure cargo moves efficiently across the region’s key trade corridors.
Beyond cross-border transport, Ziegler also supports national road distribution across South Africa. Using a combination of our own fleet and carefully selected transport partners, we deliver flexible, reliable road freight services that integrate seamlessly with our warehousing and distribution operations.
When cargo requires a dedicated vehicle, Full Truck Load (FTL) provides the most direct and secure transport service.
This option is ideal for high-volume consignments, sensitive cargo, or shipments with strict delivery timelines. Cargo travels on a dedicated vehicle from collection through to delivery, reducing handling, minimising transit time, and improving cargo security.
Ziegler manages the entire journey — including route planning, border coordination, and compliance — ensuring smooth cargo movement across South Africa and key SADC trade corridors.
What you can expect
For shipments that do not require a full vehicle, Less-than-Truck Load (LTL) provides a flexible and cost-effective transport option.
By consolidating compatible consignments, Ziegler optimises transport capacity while ensuring cargo continues moving efficiently across South Africa and key regional routes.
Our teams coordinate collection, consolidation, cross-border movement, and final delivery while managing customs documentation and compliance throughout the process.
What you can expect
Not every shipment runs on the same timeline. Ziegler offers both Economy and Express road freight options to balance cost efficiency with delivery speed.
Economy Road Freight is suited to non-urgent cargo where cost optimisation is a priority. Through planned consolidations and optimised routing, shipments move reliably across South Africa and regional trade corridors.
Express Road Freight is designed for time-sensitive cargo. With priority planning and coordination at key border posts, this service helps minimise transit times for urgent shipments.
