Afbuy provides a comprehensive cross border transport service, hauling cargo such as copper, lubricants, food aid, plastic raws, animal feed, steel and various other cargos for blue chip companies. For convenience and peace of mind, daily tracking of cargo is forwarded to all our clients.
We have extensive experience in the cross border trucking industry and we adhere to all licensing and safety requirements. Our drivers are appropriately licensed and have the necessary drivers’ permits. At Afbuy we encourage continuous skills development and career planning.
We offer our drivers flexible and conducive working conditions, training opportunities and avenues for addressing concerns and problems. The reason for our low staff turnover is that we are concerned about our drivers’ safety and wellbeing, hence the tracking of all our vehicles. We have strict rules regarding fatigue and mental and physical health.
We are conscious about overloading, traffic congestion, preserving the road infrastructure and the burden on the environment, therefore we adhere to all requirements and all our vehicles and drivers are fully Hazchem (hazardous chemical transport handling requirements) compliant.
