Our Journey

Overland Group was founded with the goal of providing dependable logistics in East Africa. Over the years, we have grown into a regional player with cross-border operations, modern fleet investments, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

1985

The Humble Beginning

With a vision to connect communities and fuel commerce, Overland Group commenced its journey with a steadfast fleet of just 5 trucks. Founded on principles of reliability and grit, we laid the first mile of a long and ambitious road.

1990

Building Momentum

Through dedication and growing trust with our partners, our fleet expanded sixfold to 30 trucks. This period solidified our reputation as a dependable haulage partner, allowing us to serve a broader network and lay the groundwork for future growth.

1995

Establishing a Regional Presence

Our fleet grew to 75 trucks, marking our evolution from a local transporter to a regional force. This expansion was driven by an unwavering commitment to timely delivery and customer-centric solutions, strengthening our footprint across key routes.

2000

Driving into a New Millennium

As the new century dawned, our fleet surged to 180 trucks. This strategic growth was a direct response to the booming economy and our clients’ evolving needs, positioning Overland as a major player in the national logistics landscape.

2005

Diversifying Our Services

Reaching a fleet of 270 trucks, we took a pivotal step by founding our Clearing & Forwarding division. This move transformed us from a transportation specialist into an integrated logistics provider, offering seamless end-to-end supply chain solutions.

2010

Approaching a Major Milestone

Our fleet grew to 390 trucks, inching us closer to the 400-vehicle landmark. This decade of sustained growth was a testament to our operational excellence and ability to adapt to a dynamic market, further entrenching our leadership.

2015

Investing in Infrastructure

With a fleet of 460 trucks, we broke ground on our first bonded warehouses. This strategic investment marked our commitment to controlling the entire logistics chain, offering clients secure storage and streamlined customs-handling facilities.

2020

Expanding the Ecosystem

Despite global challenges, our resilience shone through. We grew our fleet to 600 trucks and officially commenced our Warehousing business, activating the facilities built earlier to provide integrated storage and distribution services.

2025

A New Vertical, A Broader Vision

Today, with a powerful fleet of 800 trucks, we proudly announce our foray into Fuel Trading & Supply. This new venture synergizes with our core operations, allowing us to manage energy logistics internally and offer added value, driving Overland Group toward a more diversified and sustainable future.

Why Industry-Specific Matters

Every sector has unique logistics needs. Our team works closely with each client to design custom solutions that align with operational goals, safety standards, and industry timelines.
