Ready to find loads at the right rate?

Kweli connects SADC truck operators with cargo owners whose record you can read before you load. Free to join. No commission.

Where these numbers come from

  • Freight rates & costs — the method behind the arithmetic: what each cost line is, and why the return leg decides the margin.
  • Transport corridors — the measured road distance to put into the trip cost, lane by lane.
  • Kweli Load Exchange — once you know your rate, find loads to run it on. Free, no commission.

List your truck and its corridors, or post a load. Your corridors decide which loads we show you first — they do not lock you out of the rest. Body, weight, fit, papers: we show them, and you decide.

WhatsApp-integrated · your number is your account. Nothing from an app store — you finish with your trucks and their corridors on the board.
