Planning this lane
The N3 climb through Van Reenen's Pass is the critical section — steep, weather-exposed and frequently affected by mist, rain and truck incidents. Container availability, terminal release and truck appointment slots at Durban set the start time; the road sets the finish. We plan this lane around the release date, because a container that is not released cannot be hauled regardless of the truck's readiness.
