Most goods in Saudi Arabia travel by road. Trucks link the ports of Jeddah and Dammam, the industrial cities, the capital and every regional market. Diqah Logistics plans and manages land freight across the Kingdom and into the GCC: full truckloads, part loads, project cargo and return loads, all coordinated by one team. Land freight is the long-distance backbone of our logistics services in KSA.
Full truckload and part load
| Option | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Full truckload (FTL) | One customer uses the whole vehicle, direct from origin to destination | Large orders, time-critical loads, high-value goods |
| Part load (LTL) | Your goods share a vehicle with other consignments on the same route | Smaller volumes, regular replenishment, cost control |
| Dedicated vehicle | A vehicle assigned to your business for a period | High, steady volumes and fixed schedules |
Main land freight corridors
| Corridor | Approx. road distance | Typical cargo |
|---|---|---|
| Riyadh – Dammam | about 400 km | Imports from King Abdulaziz Port, industrial goods |
| Riyadh – Jeddah | about 950 km | Imports from Jeddah Islamic Port, retail and FMCG |
| Jeddah – Dammam | about 1,350 km | Coast-to-coast distribution |
| Riyadh – Qassim / Hail / Tabuk | 350–1,300 km | Regional distribution, project supplies |
| Jeddah – Abha / Jazan | 600–750 km | Southern region distribution |
| KSA – GCC | varies by border | Cross-border trade (see GCC logistics support) |

Port and customs connection
Many land freight journeys start at a port. Once goods are cleared through ZATCA, we collect containers or loose cargo and haul them to your warehouse or ours. Our freight forwarding and customs clearance team can manage the whole chain from vessel to door.
Regulation and safety
The Transport General Authority regulates goods transport by road, including operator licensing and vehicle requirements. We plan every land freight movement within these rules, check load securing before departure, and schedule driver rest on long corridors. Rising investment in roads, rail and logistics zones under the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program continues to improve the network.
Land freight plus warehousing
Long-haul freight is most efficient when it ends at a warehouse that can receive, store and redistribute. Combine land freight with warehousing services in KSA, warehousing in Jeddah or Dammam, and onward local and regional transportation.
