@Subaru, See thread on "Cabbages" by @Jagger, Maybe you can combine the business ideas.

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?

"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
