Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Addis–Djibouti freight take?
By road, the ~870 km trip takes about 2–3 days for a truck, depending on customs clearance at the border and congestion. The railway is faster for containers, but road freight gives flexible door-to-door pickup and delivery.
What customs clearance is needed at Djibouti?
Export and import cargo through Djibouti Port is cleared by licensed clearing agents against the invoice and packing list, plus the transit declaration where applicable. DTC matches you with drivers; customs brokerage is handled by your clearing agent.
Is my cargo insured during transport?
Insurance is the shipper's responsibility unless arranged separately. We recommend cargo insurance for high-value goods. Drivers are verified with valid registration and insurance status, and you can add your own cargo insurance before dispatch.
How do I pay the driver?
You pay the driver directly once the load is delivered — in cash, by bank transfer (CBE, Dashen), or via Telebirr mobile money. The platform is free during launch and never takes a cut of what you pay the driver.
How is the price determined?
Through competitive bidding. When you post a load, verified drivers submit their proposed prices and you choose the best offer based on price, ratings, and vehicle. There is no fixed price — you stay in control.
