Cross-Border Road Transport
Course Overview
This two-day programme covers the practical requirements for operating cross-border road freight services across Southern and East Africa. Cross-border road transport involves navigating multiple jurisdictions, each with its own regulations, documentation requirements, and border procedures that must be managed effectively.

The programme covers the major SADC corridors including Beitbridge, Lebombo, Kasane, and the Trans-Kalahari corridor with practical guidance on managing border crossings efficiently.
