Pioneer muscles into cross border market

With its business on the up-and-up, four
companies in the Pioneer Transport
group have combined into one muscular
cross-border transport operation, according to
Pioneer Transport MD, Deon Weelson.
PXL Freight & Logistics and Pioneer
Transport were previously autonomous
companies, but have now been meshed together
to trade as Pioneer Transport Overborder, he
told FTW.
This solo operation links up PXL, Pioneer
Transport SA, Pioneer Transport Zimbabwe
and Pioneer Transport Botswana – all working
under one management team.
“This was effective from January 1,” Weelson
added.
“In our quest to continually improve
our service offering, we are excited to be able to
now offer a one-stop overborder transport and
logistics solution across the Southern African
Development Community (SADC) region
which will present and open new opportunites
to business partners.”
Pioneer Transport is also in process of
introducing a further 45 vehicles into its fleet.
“These units,” Weelson said, “will be fully
integrated into our fleet across the regions and
ready for use by the end of February.”
