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.


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. smile

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.
