M.Comm. / Statistics on private road freight transportation services (not for reward) (defined as: “a business’s own vehicles that are used to transport its own products to its own customers”) are very limited in South Africa. Statistics South Africa’s (SSA) research focuses on road freight carriers for reward and excludes the data on private (not for reward) carriers. The CSIR in 2004 published a report entitled Second Annual State of Logistics Survey for South Africa. The focus of this study was on land freight transport, i.e. road and rail. Maritime, air and pipeline volumes were not included in this study’s scope. Therefore, the number of studies investigating the private (not for reward) road freight market and even the total freight market in South Africa is limited to the above-mentioned two sources and the Rand Afrikaans University’s (RAU) 1991-study (published in 1993), entitled Freight Transport Survey. / Prof. J.
