How Afro Logistics Works
A digital freight marketplace connecting shippers and verified carriers across Southern Africa — with built-in tools for consolidation, contracts, and last-mile delivery.
We are a matchmaking platform. We connect shippers with carriers — we do not operate, manage, or take liability for transport services. Each party retains the right to conduct their own vetting and due diligence.
Ship Your Cargo in 6 Steps
From posting your load to confirming delivery — here's exactly what to expect.
Create Your Free Account
Sign up with just your email — no documents, no upfront fees. You're ready to post within minutes.
Post Your Load
Enter pickup & delivery location, cargo description, weight, truck type, number of trucks needed, and your preferred pickup date. Optionally suggest a rate.
Get AI Rate Guidance
Our AI analyses similar routes and current market data to suggest a competitive rate — so you always enter negotiations with confidence.
Receive Carrier Offers
Verified, KYC-approved carriers who match your requirements will express interest. Review their fleet, rating, and notes before deciding.
Confirm & Get Connected
Once you choose a carrier, both parties receive each other's direct contact details. Contact is only shared after your confirmation — keeping you protected.
Confirm Delivery & Rate
When your goods arrive, confirm delivery on the platform and leave a rating. Your feedback builds the community's trust.
Beyond the Loadboard
Afro Logistics is more than a load-matching board. Here's everything available on the platform.
Road Freight Consolidation
Book your cargo onto consolidated truck rotations between South Africa and Zimbabwe. Share freight costs with other shippers — pay only for the space you use. Full cost breakdown, storage tracking, and per-client invoicing.
Contract Loads
Post recurring or fixed-rate contract loads that carriers can express interest in. Ideal for businesses with ongoing freight needs who want a reliable, vetted carrier on a standing arrangement.
Ecommerce Last-Mile Delivery
Manage last-mile deliveries for your online store through our internal rider network. Set custom rates per delivery zone per client, assign riders, and track every order from booking to doorstep.
Rate Intelligence
We send rate surveys to our carrier network and aggregate real market data. Combined with AI analysis, you get accurate, up-to-date rate guidance for any route — before you negotiate.
Getting Started is Easy
No documents. No upfront costs. Just your email address.
Create a free account and post your first load in under 5 minutes. Verified carriers will reach out with interest and proposed rates.
Built on Trust
Every feature on the platform is designed to protect shippers and carriers alike.
Verified Carriers Only
Every carrier passes a KYC review — ID documents, company registration, and vehicle papers — before going live on the platform.
Transparent Matching
No blind bidding. Review a carrier's full profile, truck fleet, rating history, and completed loads before you commit.
Built-in Communication
Every load has its own chat thread. Customers, carriers, and admins can communicate in context — with full message history.
Community Ratings
Mutual ratings after every completed load keep quality high and create accountability for both shippers and carriers.
Contact Protection
Direct contact details are only exchanged once a customer confirms their chosen carrier — protecting both parties from spam.
Real-time Updates
Live load status, in-app notifications, and shipment tracking mean you always know exactly where your freight stands.
