Road freight is the backbone of trade across East Africa, connecting major cities, ports, and border points. However, challenges such as road conditions, border delays, and cargo handling can affect delivery times. Here are 5 tips to ensure your road shipments are smooth and reliable:

1. Plan Your Routes Carefully
   Use trusted logistics partners like Adshef who understand key trade corridors and can suggest the fastest, safest routes.

2. Prepare Documentation in Advance
   Ensure all shipping, customs, and regulatory paperwork is complete before departure. This avoids unnecessary delays at border posts.

3. Choose the Right Transport Type
   Full truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), or container shipments — pick the one that suits your cargo size and schedule.

4. Monitor Shipments in Real-Time
   Track your cargo to react quickly to road conditions, weather, or border queues. Adshef’s operations team provides timely updates.

5. Secure and Package Goods Properly
   Protect your cargo with proper packaging and secure loading to minimize damage or loss during transit.

By following these best practices, you can ensure timely, safe, and cost-effective road freight deliveries across East Africa. Adshef Logistics combines local expertise, reliable carriers, and end-to-end coordination to help your business succeed.
