Steve Cornelius, Senior Consultant at OLEA South Africa, sits down with Pieter Vermeulen, CEO of Crossroads Distribution, in the May 2026 edition of The Road Freight Association (RFA) Truck Talk to unpack how Crossroads, one of the country’s most established logistics operators, is redefining risk management.
In the feature, Steve explores how Crossroads is strengthening its safety culture through proactive driver-behaviour monitoring, targeted training programmes, and an integrated approach to risk and insurance, a strategy that’s delivering measurable improvements across its fleet and operations.
Their discussion highlights a clear trend emerging across the logistics sector: operators that invest in structured, data-driven risk management are seeing fewer incidents, reduced claims, and stronger long-term sustainability.
