What is Long-Haul Freight?
Long-haul freight refers to the transport of large quantities of goods over significant distances — typically 500km or more — using heavy commercial trucks. In East Africa, long-haul freight is the backbone of trade between major commercial hubs like Mombasa Port, Nairobi, Kampala, Dar es Salaam, Kigali, and Bujumbura.
At Segecha Group Ltd., our long-haul freight service covers loads from 1 ton up to 30+ tons, using a professionally maintained fleet of flatbed, curtainsider, tanker, and refrigerated trucks. Every shipment is GPS-tracked, insured, and assigned to an experienced driver who specializes in the specific route corridor.
