Planning this lane
Everything on this lane converges on Beitbridge. Border processing — customs, immigration, vehicle and cargo inspection — is the biggest single variable, and volumes can back up for hours or, occasionally, days. Documentation must be complete and consistent before the truck reaches the border. We plan northbound departures with explicit border time allocated, not assumed.
