Frequently Asked Questions

What documentation do I need to ship cargo?

For domestic transport inside Ethiopia you generally need a waybill for the cargo and the vehicle's registration and insurance. For cross-border routes to Djibouti, customs documentation (transit declaration, invoice, and packing list) is handled with a 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.
