Road freight and haulage
Full loads and part loads by road, nationwide from the Free Zone Enclave in Tema.
Overview
4Jasmine Dr moves goods by road across Ghana from its base in the Free Zone Enclave, Tema — whole truckloads for clients with the volume to fill a vehicle, and part loads for consignments that do not.
A full load travels direct from collection to delivery. A part load shares the vehicle with other consignments heading the same way, which brings the cost down when the volume does not justify a truck of its own.
Either way, the movement is planned against the collection and delivery windows you give us, and the price is agreed before anything is loaded.

Full load or part load.
Neither is better. They suit different volumes and are priced differently, so it is worth knowing which one you are asking for.
Full truckload (FTL)
- Suits
- Consignments big enough to fill a vehicle, or goods that should not share space.
- Priced
- Per vehicle, on distance, route and the time the vehicle is held.
- You get
- A vehicle dedicated to your goods, travelling direct with no intermediate stops.
Part load (LTL)
- Suits
- Smaller consignments that do not justify a vehicle of their own.
- Priced
- On the space and weight your goods take up, and the route.
- You get
- A lower cost for smaller volumes, in exchange for sharing the vehicle and its schedule.
The goods decide the vehicle.
Every movement starts with the same questions: what the goods are, how they are packed, where they are going and when they have to be there. The answers decide the vehicle, the route and the schedule — which is why the quote comes after them, not before.
How this is priced.

- Weight / volume

We quote in writing. For repeat volume we agree a rate schedule so you are not renegotiating every consignment.
What we need from you.
Send these six things and the first reply can be a quote rather than a question.
Collection and delivery points
Where the goods start and where they have to end up, as precisely as you can give it.
Description of the goods
What they are, and whether they are palletised, cartoned, bagged or containerised.
Approximate weight or volume
An estimate is enough. If you are not sure, tell us what you do know and we will work from that.
Dates and timing
When the goods are ready, when they have to arrive, and whether either date can move.
Access and receiving hours
Loading bays, narrow streets, height limits, or fixed hours when the delivery point can receive.
Storage or documentation
Whether the goods need to be stored, and any port, customs or delivery paperwork involved.
A full load (FTL) has a vehicle to itself and travels direct. A part load (LTL) shares the vehicle with other consignments going the same way, which costs less for smaller volumes.
Send the consignment as early as you can and operations will confirm the earliest available window. Clients with an ongoing arrangement have capacity planned in advance.
Yes. Released cargo can be collected from the port and taken on to its destination, or into storage in the Free Zone Enclave.
Operations gives you status updates on request while the consignment is on the road.
