SBS Trucking is a well-established road freight transport and courier company located just outside Windhoek, Namibia. The business transports a variety of general cargo and goods between South Africa and Namibia and also offers a dedicated overnight road freight courier service between Windhoek and the central and northern coast of Namibia
SBS Trucking started out in 2003 as a home-based transport business with one medium-sized truck, transporting mostly finished upholstery leather goods for Nakara from Windhoek to Cape Town and collecting industrial chemicals used by Nakara and other Namibian tanneries.
From its humble beginnings, SBS Trucking experienced rapid growth. Within a couple of years, the company opened a depot in Cape Town to accommodate the efficient handling of the increased loads on the Windhoek – Cape Town route. Soon, SBS Trucking expanded its transport services to include the Windhoek – Johannesburg route. The opening of a depot in Johannesburg followed shortly to cater for an ever-increasing demand for transport and freight services.
In June 2015, SBS Trucking expanded its services into the courier market and established an overnight road freight service between Windhoek and the central and northern coastal towns of Namibia. A depot was also opened in Swakopmund to ensure the smooth operation of this service.
In order to handle the increase in transport and courier services, SBS Trucking also had to gradually increase its number of trucks and vehicles. Currently, the SBS fleet consists of eleven 34-ton trucks (interlinks) and various smaller delivery trucks and pick-ups.
