Not every trip goes exactly to plan.
Today one of our trucks was stopped at the Beaufort West Weighbridge with an axle overload. Importantly, the vehicle was not overloaded on gross vehicle mass โ the challenge was the distribution of weight across one axle.
That's one of the realities of transporting mixed break-bulk cargo. Every pallet is different in size, shape and weight, and despite careful loading, sometimes the balance isn't quite right.
We immediately rectified the load, with the help of a supportive customer who understood the situation.
After redistributing the freight, the vehicle was reweighed, complied with the legal limits, and continued safely on its way to Cape Town.
We don't celebrate receiving a fine, but we do believe in taking responsibility, fixing problems properly, and learning from every trip.
Transport isn't about pretending everything always goes perfectly. It's about how quickly and professionally you respond when it doesn't.
Safe travels to all the drivers on the road this weekend. ๐
