Coastal-to-Niger inland. Long lanes that historically suffered the worst empty-return ratios; the loop economics are most visible here.

Sahel gateway
Tema ↔ Ouagadougou ↔ Bamako
Coastal port to landlocked Sahel. Highest-value corridor for backhaul, since the inbound leg is well-served and the return leg is where empty miles compound.
Coastal corridor
Abidjan ↔ Tema ↔ Lomé ↔ Cotonou ↔ Lagos
East–west density along the Gulf of Guinea. Five port cities, four borders, four currencies. The most common multi-leg trip in the network.
Ghana domestic
Tema ↔ Accra ↔ Kumasi ↔ Tamale
Coast-to-savannah inside Ghana. Domestic hauls — same currency, same paperwork — for shippers and carriers who don't cross a border. Backhaul matching applies the same way: Tema → Tamale loaded, Tamale → Tema return.
Nigeria domestic
Lagos ↔ Ibadan ↔ Abuja
South-west coast to capital. Container moves out of Lagos port to inland depots, agricultural produce on the return leg. NGN settlement throughout — no FX exposure for domestic shippers.
Cross-network relays
All eight countries · multi-leg matching
Schema-ready for trip plans that span more than one corridor. Phase 2 enables broker-coordinated relays between two trucks at intermediate locations.
