Tautliner Transport for Johannesburg freight
Johannesburg is the industrial and distribution heart of South Africa and the single most important inland freight node in the country. Freight here concentrates around City Deep, Aeroton, Isando, Kempton Park, Germiston and the OR Tambo airport cargo precinct.
Because Gauteng consumes far more than it produces locally, most Johannesburg freight is inbound — containers and bulk from Durban and Cape Town, and cross-border cargo from the north. Outbound loads tend to be manufactured goods, steel, machinery and distribution stock heading to coastal ports or into the SADC region. We work Johannesburg collections and deliveries around City Deep terminal windows, warehouse gate bookings and the N3/N1/N12 ring road network.
