What to Have Ready Before Applying
Most cargo owners on Kweli require operators to have a complete profile before they can apply for loads. To maximise your available load options, upload:
- Tax Clearance Certificate — unlocks access to all loads on the platform
- Vehicle registration — required for all loads
- GIT Insurance certificate — required for most commercial loads
- CBRTA permit — required for cross-border loads (Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana)
Operators with all documents verified typically see 3–5× more available loads than those with incomplete profiles.
