What got you fed up? Had a Champala load, got hijacked, not sure if driver was involved, or the load owner organized it to sell product locally, long story short KRA took the truck and was ugly as it was supposed to be in custom bonded warehouse. Did not help I was running it from far and my manager was getting over excited over tiny sums. Foresight..

Rank: Member Joined: 11/10/2010 Posts: 281 Location: Nairobi		I once overheard 2 older guys talking about prime movers and one was telling the other that he can expect an average of 10k daily return from the investment. Needless to say they went cold the minute I expressed interest. I have tried to research into this. Business and my preliminary costs are coming to around 7m initial investment including a truck and some form of trailer. Am I anywhere close? Are the returns Anything close to 10k daily? I see several parked in mlolongo and various petrol stations, can business go dry to the extent that it is parked for weeks?

Not sure this would be correct thread though.. Specifically, what areas/locations would be ripe for this business? Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.
