Introduction
South Africa’s expansive geography and diverse economy demand a freight system that is both agile and reliable. From the manufacturing hubs of Gauteng to the agricultural fields of the Western Cape, moving goods across provincial lines is vital to keeping businesses running and supply chains strong.
At QE Transport, we specialize in seamless interprovincial freight solutions designed to meet the needs of businesses large and small. Whether you need high-speed road freight, bulk haulage, or customized logistics strategies, we’ve got the infrastructure and experience to deliver—across every corner of South Africa.
1. Navigating the Provincial Landscape with Confidence
South Africa is divided into nine provinces, each playing a distinct role in the national economy:
- Gauteng: The country’s economic powerhouse—home to Johannesburg and Pretoria, and the starting point for most inland freight.
- KwaZulu-Natal: A major entry and exit point for global trade, thanks to the ports of Durban and Richards Bay.
- Western Cape: Known for agricultural exports, wine production, and the Cape Town port.
- Eastern Cape: A growing automotive and manufacturing hub.
- Free State, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Northern Cape: Key areas for mining, agriculture, and trade into neighboring countries.
QE Transport provides coverage across all provinces with tailored solutions that meet the specific demands of each region.
2. Strategic Freight Corridors We Operate In
As a logistics provider deeply rooted in South African terrain, QE Transport leverages major national freight corridors to ensure timely and secure delivery:
- N1 Corridor: Connecting Cape Town to Gauteng and beyond to Zimbabwe—ideal for long-haul freight.
- N3 Corridor: A critical artery between Johannesburg and Durban, perfect for high-volume and time-sensitive cargo.
- N2 Route: Serving the Southern and Eastern coastal regions—linking Cape Town, Eastern Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal.

We plan every route with precision to avoid congestion, reduce transit time, and minimize risks.
