Transportation is very vital for a country’s socio-economic prosperity and an organization’s corporate profitability and growth.
No matter the industry, organizations need to transport goods and services seamlessly and efficiently to customers if they would like to compete in the global market. In nations like Nigeria, transportation plays major support to its growing economy.

Holistic mode of transportation in the country have always consist of rail, road, pipelines, air and waterways. These systems are mostly used for trade purposes but since Nigeria gained independence in 1960, the country’s transport systems have been plagued with damaged roads, congested ports, airplane and a deteriorating railway system.
Despite the failing transport infrastructure in the country, road still remains her most dominant mode of moving humans, goods and services. With a road network of about 200,000 kms, 90% of cargo transported around Nigeria makes use of the road system. This has made road transportation responsible for a large percentage of the sub-sector’s contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the economy.
Although federal, state and local government have given high priority to more road construction development plans, these roads are still poorly maintained, traffic-congested and loosed security. For trade, it translates to the high cost of logistics, delayed delivery of goods to demand centers and consequently hike in food prices for consumers in the country.
Addressing bottlenecks behind road-based freight transportation in Nigeria, Coche Ride Transportation and Logistics have developed an all-in-one robust logistics ecosystem that simplifies the distribution of goods by creating an efficient logistics experience for cargo owners and distributors who are burdened with the task of moving their goods within the country.
Through its seamless mobile and web applications, cargo owners can easily request truck sizes in 2tons, 5tons, 10tons and 20tons for their items, have them picked up, tracked and delivered to their final destination on schedule, all from the comfort of their space. This empowers businesses with control of the in-transit visibility and security information.
When commercial entities use untracked vehicles, unethical and poorly trained drivers, they stand the risk of loss of cargo but with the Goods In Transit Insurance (GIT) placed on all trucks driven by well-trained transporters, cargo owners can eliminate their reliance on third party traditional transport system and its consequences.
Since founded in 2019, Coche Ride Transportation and Logistics have completed successfully road freight trips from Lagos to Ekiti, Aba, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Oyo, Kaduna and a host of other cities and states ensuring the transportation of goods be as convenient as possible for businesses.
With a highly fragmented and underdeveloped system present in Nigeria’s logistics sector, it is safe to say Coche Ride Transportation and Logistics is making movement of goods from destination to destination seamlessly possible, transparent, inexpensive and efficient through technology within the supply chain.
