Our fleet

The trucks are ours.

Most fuel that moves across this region moves on somebody else's truck, booked by somebody else's broker. Ours moves on ours. That is why we can commit to a date instead of forecasting one.

Owned, not brokered

The trucks are ours. That is what lets a delivery date be a commitment rather than a phone call to a subcontractor.

40,000 to 45,000 litres

Tanker trailers sized for institutional volumes of diesel (AGO) and petrol (PMS).

Eldoret to Kisangani

The corridor we run: out of Kenya, across Uganda, into the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Cleared by our own agents

Customs is where cross-border fuel usually stops. We handle it in-house rather than hand it on.
