What had you intended to do with it in the first place? A pickup is basically for transportation business, so you need to transport something. A contract may not be easy to come by;

1. Park it in a busy shopping center or mall and solicit for transport from shoppers of bulky items such as beds, fridges etc.
2. Go to farmers huko mashinani and buy vegetables or cereals to sell around the estates and shopping centers.
3. Go for charcoal in Kajiado and sell in Kitengela, Athi River and Mlolongo. Remember to spare some loot for the cops along Namanga rd
4. Park it in a busy and highly populated residential area and solicit for transport from residents who want shift or transport any bulky items.

Remember you will be competing with mikokoteni guys so pricing matters a lot.

a pick up is a good transport tool. you must not be choosey. if ballast is the end point go for it .whats the worry.you need money.

Identify an area where those constructing are buying materials, and park the vehicle there. When I was constructing, I was hiring pickups regularly to transport materials eg chumas, cement, mbaos, doors, window grills, gate, tiles, MDFs, landscaping plants etc. Normally after buying the items I would look for the nearest pick up for transport. Also talk to the hardware guys coz they always ask if one needs a pickup to transport materials after one has bought bulky items. And they always have some numbers for pick up guys.

Many thanks for all your comments.

@Subaru, if you wish to hire it over weekends, give me a call on 0704 806 821 for further discussion.

I also acquired a Toyota single cab and need ideas on how to get optimum returns out of it.
