In an industry known for its fast-paced and demanding nature, QikTruck Logistics is setting a new standard for driver care. Through this strategic alliance with WELO Health, they are committed to transforming the driver experience, making comprehensive medical services accessible to their valued team members.

Their drivers can now access medical consultations, advice, and support from virtually any location. Whether on the road, at home, or at one of their hubs, healthcare services will be readily available.

The collaboration with WELO Health brings a comprehensive suite of healthcare services, including virtual doctor consultations, on-site healthcare at depos, prescription services, and more. Drivers will receive top-tier healthcare solutions when and where they need them.

QikTruck Logistics do not view themselves as just a logistics company, but a community of drivers who ensure the seamless flow of goods across the nation. Their commitment to driver welfare is unwavering, and the partnership with WELO Health marks a significant milestone in delivering on that promise.

QikTruck Logistics is a non-asset-based 4PL model, that partners with drivers on a per-load basis. The funding model for the benefits provided to their drivers is structured to ensure a fair and sustainable partnership. Each load is associated with a predetermined compensation and as part of the funding model.

QikTruck allocate a portion of the load revenue to cover benefits. These benefits may include health insurance, retirement plans, and other incentives aimed at enhancing the overall well-being of their drivers.

Also, to encourage optimal performance and reliability, they incorporate performance-based incentives into the funding model. Drivers who consistently meet or exceed delivery expectations may receive additional bonuses or rewards as a recognition of their dedication and hard work.

"I am honoured to announce the partnership between QikTruck and WELO Health” declared Wesley Sono, Chief Operations Officer. “As we support nearly 2000+ drivers throughout South Africa, often with their indispensable helpers, providing access to on-demand medical care, including doctors and nurses, is a top priority. We would also like to extend our gratitude to our drivers, the true backbone of our company. Without their dedication, we wouldn't have reached the heights we have today. This collaboration exemplifies our commitment to the well-being of our team, recognising their indispensable role in our success." 

"We are extremely excited about this partnership and the difference it will make for QikTruck Logistics drivers. Healthcare on demand without limiting productivity is our play. We could not have chosen a better partner to do this with." added WELO health CEO, Zanele Abraham Matome.
