2. Terminal Congestion and Operational Delays
Our trucking partners have been working tirelessly to clear the backlog of cargo which arrived over the festive period and are currently working at full capacity with limited trucks on the road while staff are starting to return to work for the New Year. The team at SCT are working through all shipments and assure you we are all working full steam ahead to deliver your cargo soonest possible.
KZN is currently experiencing heavy rain which is also causing operational delays at the terminal where truckers are not able to obtain bookings to uplift units. With wet roads, some delivery delays can be expected over this time. We sincerely thank you for your understanding.
