WHAT IT IS

What is a dedicated trip?

A dedicated trip is a JLog vehicle and crew booked for your goods alone. We collect, drive straight to the delivery address and carry the goods in. Nothing goes through a depot or shares space with anyone else’s freight, On the road, only your crew handles your goods.

It suits furniture, art and other fragile or high-value goods, bulky items a courier won’t take, multi-stop runs, and anything that has to arrive on a set day.

Who handles your goods One JLog crew, from collection to delivery Several depots and handlers along the way
Your goods travel with Nobody else’s freight A mixed load
Delivery day Agreed with you when you book Set by the network’s schedule
At the door Driver and helper carry it in and place it Usually left at the door

THE VEHICLES

Three vans, matched to your load

Tell us what you’re moving and we pick the vehicle. We would rather match it properly than send something too small.

VW Caddy

Our smallest van, for lighter loads: a few boxes, framed artworks, samples or a single piece of furniture.

Toyota Quantum

For medium loads: several pieces of furniture, exhibition or event kit, or a shop delivery.

VW Crafter

Our biggest van, for room sets, bulky furniture, multi-drop runs and the long coastal trips.

Four steps, one crew.

REGULAR ROUTES

One trip, or a regular route

Most trips are once-off. If you deliver on a schedule, book the same vehicle and crew for a regular run.

Once-off trip

One vehicle and crew for one job, local or along the coast.

Weekly route

A fixed route every week, for shops, showrooms and stockists.

Monthly route

A fixed schedule for distribution that needs certainty. Scale it up or down with 30 days’ notice.

Regular routes are priced per trip too. The exact price depends on the vehicle, the addresses, the number of stops and the crew time, and we confirm it before you book.

BEFORE THE TRIP

Packing and storage in Woodstock

Everything starts at our warehouse in Woodstock, so we can pack, crate or hold your goods before the trip.

Crating and packing

Our own crating workshop builds standard crates in 1 to 3 working days, from R1,500. Ideal for art and fragile pieces going to the coast.

Storage until the trip

Hold goods with us until the delivery date, from R250 per pallet a month. Handy when a coastal house isn’t ready yet.
