What we Provide

The trucking industry provides transportation services for persons or companies looking to haul heavy things. Vehicle Machines Transport enables someone to lease a truck, of any size, for any project that needs hauling. We will provide this service to the whole of the Cape Town area, and hope to expand from this base area within the years of operation. This service is provided on two bases: for-hire and private carriers. Of these two segments, Vehicle Machines Transport will concentrate on the for-hire carriers, and, more specifically, the truckload (TL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) segments.

Vehicle Machines Transport will offer both for-hire trucking as well as private carriers. Most of their business will be derived from the private carriers. For the private carrier segment, both truck load (TL) and less than truck load (LTL) will be offered. Vehicle Machines Transport services will be especially attractive to the warehouse industry, as participants in that industry typically use referrals, reputation, and customer service as purchasing variables.

Financial Risks and Contingencies

The company recognizes that it is subject to both market and industry risks. The two primary risks to the company are:

• Industry concentration risk. The company is mainly focused on warehouse industry businesses in the R.S.A. This position is favorable since the industry is fairly stable. Any slowdown in the warehouse production would have negative repercussions for Vehicle Machines Transport. To mitigate this risk, the company is looking at diversifying its trucking business to include other industries as well.

• Operational risk. Vehicle Machines Transport recognizes the fact that there is an inherent risk in transporting cargo. Any damage to cargo may undermine the profitable of the company. To reduce this risk, the company maintains all necessary insurance.
