kwani there r no wazuans with the above info

Get an FH215.Take it to Busia border where it will get many jobs.example ferrying beans to Meru,from Meru it will ferry bananas to Nairobi,from Nairobi it will ferry cement to Bungoma as it heads back to Busia.just buy it and take it to Busia where you will be given a driver and have your own turnboy.The management is in the hands of the driver and on average you will be left with 15k a day.

Hmmm...I'm watching this as I have some lingering interest in the same. Been looking at the smaller units, Mitsubishi Guts & Isuzu Elf and wondering which is better?

thanks wanyee btw do they still give out contracts at dhl ? and what r the requirements needed at g4s

"first establish the need to transport something beforehand"
e.g.transport your own goods ( the best)
or you have a guarantee contract

don't depend on any getting business from random people, you will fail, because, Clients require value for money, they want to put the most weight on your canter, someone will want you to put 8tonne on a canter that was labelled 2000kg when it was in japan... you obviously know what happens next, huge maintenance costs !!


also, most companies which outsource transport business pay too little. e.g. they pay 100k for a canter. (when you remove tax, and maintenance) , you'll probably be left with 50k or less . which is not good ROI

my friend, vampires known as brokers exist in the transport business. i worked in busia transport business. My advice is transport your own goods for resale elsewhere that's when your vehicle won't be at the whims of brokers

If you had this already, I'd give you 1st business. Currently need a (10-15 tonne) canter..

It can be quite profitable, but you have could also make serious losses.

The bigger challenge is to learn the farm and market dynamics, what can give you money and what cannot,
Having the vehicle is an added advantage to you, but is a smaller part of the equation

It was a one time. Plus it was building material, not farm produce.

Thanks.

I know of people who make good money just in this transport business,

with a 33 canter,or bigger u have the advantage of buying farm produce from central,transporting to coast..and reaping well and proper.

The first thing is to get the lorry, once you have the lorry u start looking for business confidently..

With good proper contacts...you can make it.

another thing, dont buy a used lorry ,if you can buy a brand isuzu or whatever and Lo! forget maintenance costs that eat your profit.
