About Us
Proudly since 1983
Colt Transport first opened its doors in 1983, established by Mr. I.A. Joosab and his wife, Mrs. S.B. Joosab. Mr. Joosab started the organisation with only one truck, back in 1983. He drove the truck himself, while Mrs. Joosab took care of the administrative aspects of the company.
Mr. Joosab has a diploma in road transport economics and road traffic legislation. He also attends all the latest industry courses to keep up to date with the ever-changing local & international legislation in this transport industry. Ebrahim Joosab, the eldest son joined the family business in 1997, and Muhammad Joosab, the youngest joined in 2008, under the mentorship of Mr. Joosab senior.
Through decades of hard work, passion, and great teamwork, the Joosab’s firsthand experience and hands-on management approach assisted them in growing the fleet to over 65 long-haul trucks.
Today we own and operate over 150 trucks from 4 depots in South Africa. Our innovative transport solutions and advanced fleet management and safety and technology capabilities allow us to deliver sustainable results to a diverse blue chip customer base.
