Container movements. Port to warehouse. Nothing in between.
TSI Central Station manages import and export container movements between South African ports and your warehouse. GPS tracked vehicles, customs clearing coordinated on your behalf and proof of delivery confirmed within 10 minutes per drop.
Containerised road freight. Port to warehouse.
TSI Central Station's road freight service is built around one thing: moving import and export containers between South African ports and your warehouse. We do not move loose freight or palletised cargo on this service. We move containers.
TSI coordinates customs clearing through an appointed licensed agent and books the transport collection the moment your container is released. The clearing and the collection are managed as one seamless process. No gap. No handoff between teams you have to manage yourself.

One team managing the full movement. Port release to proof of delivery.
When TSI coordinates your customs release and books your collection, the container moves the moment it is ready. There is no notification delay, no third party to track down and no detention charges building up while someone waits for a call. You deal with TSI. TSI manages everything else.
Road freight services
TSI manages containerised road freight across South Africa. Every service below is coordinated by TSI from customs release through to proof of delivery at your warehouse.
Port Collections
TSI collects your container directly from Durban, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth or Ngqura. We coordinate the customs release through an appointed agent and book the collection immediately. No gap between clearance and collection. No waiting for a third party to be notified. The container moves when it is ready.
Long Haul Container Transport
Import containers collected from port and delivered to your warehouse in Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town or Port Elizabeth. Export containers collected from your warehouse and delivered to the port in time for vessel cut-offs. GPS tracked throughout with proof of delivery confirmed within 10 minutes of each drop.
Two-Driver Relay
TSI pioneered the non-stop Johannesburg to Cape Town two-driver relay for Procter and Gamble South Africa — a direct, continuous run that cut transit time and eliminated overnight stops. That model is now standard across the industry. It is part of why TSI has been trusted by major importers for over 20 years.
From port release to proof of delivery
Every container TSI moves follows the same process. No surprises, no gaps and no phone calls chasing someone else's driver.
Customs clearing coordinated
TSI appoints and manages a licensed clearing agent on your behalf. We coordinate the documentation, track the release status and ensure everything is in order before the container is ready to move. You deal with TSI throughout and do not need to manage the port or the agent directly.
Collection booked on release
The moment your container is released, TSI books the collection. The vehicle is dispatched without delay. No waiting for a third party to be notified. No gap between release and collection. This is how TSI eliminates detention and demurrage charges.
GPS tracked movement
Every vehicle in the TSI fleet is GPS tracked. You have visibility of where your container is throughout the movement through the TSI Digital Control Tower. If anything changes on route, you are notified before it becomes a problem.
Delivery to your warehouse
Your cargo is delivered directly to your warehouse or designated destination. The driver confirms delivery on arrival and proof of delivery is issued within 10 minutes of the drop, every time.
POD confirmed within 10 minutes
Proof of delivery is confirmed and sent to you within 10 minutes of each drop. This is the TSI standard on every movement, every time. Not a target. The standard. It matters for retail compliance, your own records and closing off shipments without chasing paperwork.
What makes TSI different on road freight
Most road freight providers move cargo. TSI manages the full movement from port release to proof of delivery as a single accountable operation.
One team from release to delivery
TSI coordinates customs clearing and transport as a single managed service. The moment your container is released, our team books the collection. You deal with one person throughout and one team is accountable for the outcome.
No gap between clearing and collection
When TSI coordinates your clearing and your transport, the container moves the moment it is ready. There is no notification delay, no third party to track down and no detention charges building up while someone waits for a call.
GPS tracked on every movement
Every vehicle in the TSI fleet is GPS tracked. You know where your cargo is at all times. If something changes on route, you hear it from TSI before it becomes a problem on your end.
Proof of delivery in 10 minutes
POD is confirmed and sent within 10 minutes of every drop. This matters for retail compliance, for your own records and for closing off shipments without chasing paperwork. It is the TSI standard, not a best effort.
20 years of South African port knowledge
TSI has been moving containers from South African ports since 2006. We know the terminals, the cut-off times, the congestion patterns and the workarounds. That knowledge saves time and money on every movement.
Proactive exception management
If there is a delay, a congestion issue or a change on route, we contact you before you have to contact us. Our job is to manage the exceptions so they do not land on your desk as problems.
