Own fleet ensures control along full logistics chain

Maintaining control
from loading point to
final destination is a key
element of Falcongate’s
consolidation service
offering.
“We run a weekly
containerised consol
service to Malawi from
our warehouse and depot
in Anderbolt in Boksburg,”
says managing director
John Wheadon.
With a fleet of some 120
trucks with tri-axle trailers,
all fitted with satellite
tracking, consolidations
remain an important part of
the Falcongate mix,
says Wheadon.
“What makes a
difference is the fact that
we do run our own fleet.
Our system is of such a
nature that we have full
control of the cargo from
the loading point to the
final destination. That
means we can manage the
client’s cargo efficiently and
effectively all the time.”
The service usually loads
on a Friday and departs
first thing on a Saturday
morning for Malawi.
“Depending on the
volume this can range from
one truck a week to even
more than four vehicles
per week.”
