Gaziantep Logistics and Freight Services

Road Transport to Gaziantep

Gaziantep, located in south-east Turkey, is an export powerhouse and one of the country's strongest industrial cities. Incorporating dozens of sectors — from textile and carpet production to spice and food processing, machinery manufacturing and the plastics industry — Gaziantep is a critical trade gateway to the Middle East. From our İskenderun base, Çevikoğlu Lojistik operates daily regular services to Gaziantep, offering a broad service package for export-oriented transport from port connections to domestic distribution.

The İskenderun–Gaziantep corridor runs approximately 200 kilometres from İskenderun via the D817 and then the O-52 motorway. This distance is well suited to daily two-way departure planning. For full loads, your vehicle departs directly to Gaziantep; for groupage shipments, our daily consolidation services achieve next-day delivery at the latest.

Başpınar OSB and GAOSB Transport

Başpınar OSB (Zones 1, 2, 3 and 4) and GAOSB, Gaziantep's largest organised industrial zones, are vast industrial complexes where a significant share of Turkey's carpet and textile exports are produced. We carry raw material inbound and finished goods outbound from the hundreds of factories in Başpınar OSB within our daily departure schedule. We also provide regular services to machinery, metal processing and electrical equipment manufacturers in GAOSB. Export-ready loads from both industrial zones are transported to İskenderun Port or directly to the export point, with vehicle tracking active throughout.

Textile, Carpet and Yarn Transport

Gaziantep is a leading exporter of carpets worldwide; machine-made carpets, hand-woven rugs, yarn and textile fabrics are the city's most important export items. Carpets and woven products are loads that require special stowage in terms of weight-to-volume ratio and packaging method. Our specialist team in vehicle lashing, protective packaging and stowage planning guarantees damage-free transport of these products. We provide comprehensive transport services to the textile and carpet sector, from domestic store distribution to export loading via Mersin and İskenderun ports.

Food Industry: Spices, Flour and Processed Products

Gaziantep is one of the most important spice and food-processing centres of Turkish cuisine. Red pepper flakes, red pepper paste, peanut butter, garlic products and various dried foods are exported from this city across Turkey and worldwide. We transport packaged food products in box-body or curtainsider vehicles compliant with hygiene and safety standards. We also dispatch bulk and palletised loads from flour mills and grain processing plants using appropriate vehicle types. We plan priority departures for products with sensitive shelf lives.

Machinery, Plastics and Export Cargo

Heavy machinery, equipment parts and plastic raw materials/finished products from Gaziantep's machinery manufacturing and plastics industry facilities are loads that require various vehicle types and loading equipment. We carry machinery and industrial equipment on lowbeds, platform trailers and curtainsider vehicles, and conduct feasibility and route surveys in advance for project cargo. Gaziantep's proximity to the Syrian and Iraqi borders turns the city into a critical transit point for export transport extending to the Middle East; we also facilitate cargo connections on these routes.

Our Transport Types and Process

On the Gaziantep route we provide full-load (FTL) and groupage (LTL) road transport, palletised shipments, ADR hazardous goods transport, and project and heavy haulage services. Your cargo is monitored in real time via our vehicle tracking system from the moment it departs until delivery. Our 24/7 operations team provides information at the loading, in-transit and delivery stages. All shipments are covered by cargo insurance and your documents are prepared completely.

Delivery Times and Departure Frequency

The approximately 200-kilometre distance between İskenderun and Gaziantep allows us to maximise the short-haul advantage. Full loads depart directly and meet the target of same-day delivery or by the following morning at the latest. For groupage shipments, delivery takes place within 1–2 days via our daily consolidation departure. During peak seasons and high-export periods, we plan the schedule in advance to guarantee capacity.

Return Loads from Gaziantep

Gaziantep, the south-east's export hub, also has a strong import and domestic transport flow. We organise regular return services from Gaziantep towards İskenderun, Mersin, Adana and Hatay, maximising vehicle fill efficiency in both inbound and outbound loads. This structure offers our customers economical two-way transport.
