Cape Town's cold fronts don't schedule themselves around your freight windows. Clearway does. We pre-position before the first flake falls, so your supply chain never feels the disruption — only the invoice.
Different formats.
The same proof.
Our clients don't all sound alike. Neither does their evidence. Here's how Clearway performs — in their words and their numbers.
The Huguenot Tunnel closure on the 15th would have cost us a full day's cold-chain throughput — 340 pallets of chilled product with a 36-hour compliance window. Clearway had the N1 approach clear before our second truck reached the staging lane.

Du Toitskloof Pass: R101 Corridor Restored in 3.8 Hours
Atlantic cold front deposited 18cm of snow on the Du Toitskloof Pass summit between 06:00–09:30 SAST. Provincial Traffic diverted all HMVs to alternative routes, compounding delays on the N2 Grabouw corridor. Clearway deployed two P1 heavy ploughs and a B3 brine spreader from the Paarl staging point at first weather alert.

Three Waterfront commercial buildings, 1,400 parking bays, and 22 loading docks cleared by 07:30 — before a single tenant arrived. That's what a retained contract looks like.
