The national warehouse footprint of the company has allowed for the large fleet to be catered for carefully. Daily technical inspections from a team of experts ensure client cargos remain safe and secure while in transit. The company also enjoys the support of OEMs when it comes to fleet maintenance and upkeep to keep trucks and trailers in top operating condition.

“Importantly,” adds Naidoo, “our highly skilled and loyal drivers protect the longevity and condition of our fleet. We have created a culture wherein our people consider Titan Cargo as their own and this forms a large part of our competitive advantage.”

In the future, ongoing development and growth of the fleet is already planned. Renewal and acquisition will happen in line with growing demand from clients.

“These programs are continuously adding to the much-needed future transportation capacity that Titan

Cargo needs,” explains Naidoo. “We are investing in new fleet capacity ahead of demand so that as our customers grow, we are able to meet their new capacity demands. Our fleet programs are very progressive and aggressive.”

Again, the strategy has been verified in the faith that clients have shown in Titan. Powerful growth has been achieved, moving from two customers just a few years ago to more than 20 blue-chip customers today. The fleet boomed from 20 to 200, and team grew from 15 to 350 people in the same period of time. “Our growth is testament to the fact that our service offering is extraordinary, and the market is receiving this well,” says Naidoo.
