Purpose: Small, micro and medium enterprises are often neglected within the Road Freight and Logistics Industry. Larger trucking and logistics companies often engage the services of SMME operators, many use load brokers, who reduce the profitability of every load without much value being added. This practice leads to a cut-throat business environment that is unsustainable and which leads to potentially high risk operating practices by SMMEs simply to stay on the road. There is a need that has been identified by SMMEs to engage with industry leaders to find ways to support SMMEs through concerted, well thought through and adept initiatives.
