The service
One corridor, done properly.
We are starting with a single route so that every part of it can be run well: the road, the border and the customers at both ends. We plan for cargo in both directions, so the return journey carries a paying load too.
The equipment
A 6x4 truck tractor pulling a 6/12 m tautliner interlink. The curtain sides open fully, so pallets can be loaded by forklift from either side. We are specifying air suspension to give fragile and perishable cargo a smoother ride.
The cargo
Palletised freight suited to a curtain-side trailer, including:
- Fresh produce that travels without refrigeration
- Building materials such as floor and wall tiles
- Packaged consumer goods
- General palletised freight
Operating standard
Written down before the first trip.
These commitments are set out in our operating procedures and controlled forms. They apply from the first load, and they are what customers, insurers and funders can hold us to.
- 01
Documented procedures
Every trip follows the same written steps, from quotation and booking to delivery, invoicing and filing.
- 02
Daily vehicle inspection
Truck and trailers are checked against a written checklist before every departure. Defects are reported before the vehicle moves.
- 03
Two drivers per trip
Each trip is crewed by two professional drivers holding Code EC licences and valid professional driving permits.
- 04
Satellite tracking
Truck and trailers carry tracking units, so the position of a load can be confirmed at any point on the route.
- 05
Secured overnight stops
Overnight stops are made only at secured, access-controlled truck stops, never at the roadside.
- 06
Border papers checked first
Permits, customs documents and driver papers are checked against a list before the truck leaves Johannesburg.
- 07
Secured, legal loads
Loads are restrained, sealed and photographed before departure, and kept within legal axle and combination mass limits.
- 08
Signed proof of delivery
Every load is signed for at delivery. Any shortage or damage is written on the consignment note before the receiver signs.
Our vehicles keep to legal speed limits. For us, a swifter trip comes from better preparation, not a heavier foot.
How a trip runs
From enquiry to invoice.
Every load moves through the same six stages. Each stage has its own form, so nothing depends on memory and every step leaves a record.
Quotation
A written rate, with transit time, standing time and conditions of carriage.
Booking
The load is confirmed in writing, with collection and delivery details.
Loading
Vehicle inspection, load securing, seals and a signed consignment note.
Border
Customs clearance at Beitbridge through the appointed clearing agent.
Delivery
The receiver signs the proof of delivery, noting any exceptions.
Invoice
The invoice is issued with the signed proof of delivery attached.

Our name
Swifter, and built to last.
Celerior is Latin for “swifter”, the comparative of celer, meaning swift. It shares its root with the English word accelerate. We chose the comparative on purpose: not the swiftest, but always a little swifter, through better planning and preparation.
Luxor is the city on the east bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt that stands on the site of ancient Thebes. Its name comes from the Arabic al-Uqsur, “the palaces”. The city grew on goods that reached it reliably along the river, and its temples have stood for more than three thousand years.
Together, the name says what we promise: goods moved swiftly, to a standard that lasts.
