Saudi Arabia’s Transport General Authority (TGA) has taken a significant step in modernising the Kingdom’s logistics sector with the launch of a comprehensive directory of licensed truck freight carriers through its ‘Logisti’ digital platform. The initiative is designed to connect cargo owners, shipping agents, and businesses across Saudi Arabia and beyond with verified, authorised transporters — streamlining access to freight services and raising the overall efficiency of domestic and regional cargo movement.
What the Logisti Directory Offers
The new carrier directory on the Logisti platform provides users with detailed information on each licensed carrier, including the specific destinations they serve — both within the Kingdom and extending to Gulf Cooperation Council member states and other Arab countries. Users can also review the types of trucks and trailers available through each operator, enabling cargo owners, freight agents, and businesses to select services that precisely match their transport requirements.
TGA described the directory as facilitating direct communication between cargo owners and licensed carriers, a feature the authority said would enhance reliability and support the smooth flow of transport operations. By bringing verified carriers and freight demand onto a single, accessible digital platform, the initiative reduces friction in the supply chain and helps businesses make more informed, faster decisions about their logistics needs.
Strengthening Saudi Arabia’s Logistics Backbone
The launch of the Logisti truck carrier directory fits squarely within Saudi Arabia’s broader strategy to build a world-class logistics sector under Vision 2030. The Kingdom has set ambitious targets to establish itself as a global logistics hub, leveraging its geographical position at the crossroads of Asia, Europe, and Africa. Investments in port infrastructure, dry ports, freight corridors, and digital logistics platforms are all part of this comprehensive effort.
By digitising the process of identifying and connecting with licensed truck carriers, TGA is addressing one of the most practical pain points in land freight logistics — the difficulty of quickly finding reliable, verified transporters that serve specific routes and carry specific cargo types. The Logisti platform is a step toward a more transparent, efficient, and technology-enabled logistics market in the Kingdom.
Regional Reach and Future Ambitions
The platform’s scope extends beyond Saudi Arabia’s borders to include GCC countries and Arab states, reflecting the Kingdom’s vision of becoming a regional logistics nerve centre that facilitates trade and cargo flow across a wide geographic area. As international trade volumes through Saudi ports and land corridors continue to grow, tools like the Logisti carrier directory become increasingly vital infrastructure for ensuring that freight can move quickly, safely, and with full regulatory compliance.
TGA’s investment in digital logistics infrastructure signals a clear direction: Saudi Arabia intends to lead the region not just in physical freight capacity, but in the quality and accessibility of the digital systems that underpin modern supply chains.
