Pioneer muscles into cross border market

With its business on the up-and-up, four companies in the Pioneer Transport group have combined into one muscular cross-border transport operation, according to Pioneer Transport MD, Deon Weelson. PXL Freight & Logistics and Pioneer Transport were previously autonomous companies, but have now been meshed together to trade as Pioneer Transport Overborder, he told FTW. This solo operation links up PXL, Pioneer Transport SA, Pioneer Transport Zimbabwe and Pioneer Transport Botswana – all working under one management team. “This was effective from January 1,” Weelson added. “In our quest to continually improve our service offering, we are excited to be able to now offer a one-stop overborder transport and logistics solution across the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region which will present and open new opportunites to business partners.” Pioneer Transport is also in process of introducing a further 45 vehicles into its fleet. “These units,” Weelson said, “will be fully integrated into our fleet across the regions and ready for use by the end of February.”
