“Transport excellence” arrives at coast
SBS Trucking cc, a well-established road freight transport and courier company, extended their business to Swakopmund this week. Their goal is to provide the highest level of transportation services, as well as safe and timely deliveries with fair and competitive pricing, while providing a safe workplace for employees and maintaining integrity, fairness and
honesty with customers and business partners. The company started out in 2003 as a home-based transport business with the acquisition of one medium sized truck, initially transporting goods for Nakara from Windhoek to Cape Town. The absence of any major contracts have inspired the owners to be put in a lot more effort to achieve their goals and within a few years they opened a depot in Cape Town to accommodate and efficiently handle the increased loads on the Trans - Oranje Corridor (Whk - CT). The Windhoek – Johannesburg (Trans - Kalahari Corridor) was conquered subsequently and since then the company has grown significantly and also had to open a depot in Johannesburg. After attaining this milestone, they had to increase their fleet of trucks, which currently consists of eleven 34 ton trucks (interlinks) with various smaller delivery trucks and pick-ups. Business was booming and they had to relocate from Windhoek to Brakwater (±18 km north of Windhoek on the B1 highway) in search of a larger premises to accommodate its operations. SBS Trucking recently purchased this plot (Plot 48) from the owner. They offer a bi-weekly service from Johannesburg and Cape Town (Tuesdays and Fridays) and now also an overnight road freight service between Windhoek and the central and northern coastal town of Namibia. The transport company caters for the transportation of, amongst other, household and electronic goods, foodstuff, industrial goods, printing, stationery, glass, parts and much more. Customers of SBS Trucking can also rest assured that their goods are in safe hands, as the company’s rates include freight insurance of up to N$2 million per load. Furthermore, all their vehicles are fully equipped with satellite tracking devices for real time tracking. From its humble beginnings in 2003, it is clear that this company is certainly on its way to the top and busy accomplishing their vision to become one of the recognized leaders in Namibia’s transport industry for long and short distance trucking.
