    Hi there, I have a 3.5 ton enclosed truck which I would like to start a trucking business with. I would like to start small but the ultimate dream of growing the business at some later stages.I therefore need some assistance in the form of contact details for most trucking companies which I would like to strike a deal/s with for transporting small freight within the SADC region, especially moving freight to and from Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Is there anyway I can get a compact list of freight companies operating in South Africa? Anyone out there please assist me. Thank you.
