Keys to Success

Human Resources: We believe that drivers are the life (blood and oxygen) of logistics and transportation business. Your drivers can make or mar your transportation business, so recruitment will be a top company priority. We will make sure that drivers are licensed and well-trained to drive fuel/petroleum tankers/trucks.

Maintenance: Our research has shown that most of the haulage and logistic companies do not carry out a regular maintenance of their vehicles. They do maintenance when their truck breaks down. AT ARA Transport, we shall promote the life span of our truck by ensuring and putting in place systematic maintenance routines. As our business grows and more trucks are bought, we will hire an in-house mechanic to handle maintenance and repairs.

Competitive Rates: We will provide competitive rates to our customers because we have low cost inputs. Our research shows that, you can attract buyers even if your price is below US $5.

Package Handling: By taking regular maintenance of our truck, we will ensure that there is no leakage of fuel and deliver the exact volume of petroleum products to our customers.
