What the board saw this month
Every load that opens, matches or closes on this board is a reading. Put a year of those readings together and you know what it actually costs to move a tonne between any two points in SADC, by season and by direction, inside a country as well as across a border. Nobody else has that. This is where it gets written down.
Four readings, every month
Lane density
Which lanes carried volume and which thinned out - domestic trunk routes read alongside the corridors.
Directional imbalance
Where the empty running is worst right now, in which direction, and what that is doing to rates.
Border readings
Dwell times and closures reported by operators actually sitting in the queue.
Newly verified
Operators and shippers who come through verification, once it is running.
It does not stop at this site
The Dispatch is carried into the Cabanga publication network, which reaches business readers in twenty-eight countries. A lane reading published here is read by the people who post the cargo, not only by the people who move it.
