How we are set up

A fleet operator, not a freight broker.

Much of the transport in this market is arranged rather than operated: an intermediary takes the order, then goes looking for a truck. We are the truck. That difference decides whether your load is a scheduling question or a sourcing one.

Capacity, not promises

Fleet depth is what lets us put several units on the same lane on the same day — or hold trucks for a shipment window.

  1. 01

    We own the assets

    Every truck and trailer on a Mwendo job is on our books. Nothing is subcontracted out to an owner we cannot direct, so capacity we commit is capacity we control.

  2. 02

    We employ the crews

    Drivers, loaders and dispatchers are our staff. They are trained on our loading standards and answer to our operations desk, not to a third party.

  3. 03

    We carry the risk

    Maintenance, insurance, compliance and delivery performance sit with one company. When you contract Mwendo, there is nobody else to point at.

How the operation runs

What we haul

What we haul.

Six operating disciplines, each with its own equipment and routing. Pick the one closest to your cargo, or send us the consignment and we will tell you which it is.

All services

The fleet

What we run.

Six equipment types, all company-owned, so the right truck for your cargo is a scheduling decision rather than a sourcing one.

Where we run

Kigali at the centre, ports at both ends.

Rwanda has no coastline, so nearly every import arrives on a truck that has already covered a long corridor. These are the lanes we run.
