Hi Guy's,
I got into Transport business by buying a new mitsubish FH. The problem is that I was wrongly adviced that the Fresh produce industry pays 20-30k per trip to Naivasha or Timau to Jomo, and one can do atleast 4 trips in a week. The big boys in the industry adviced me it's a bad idea Is there any one who can advise since I will be having the Truck from the bodybuilding shop in 2weeks
Sad is there any other offers out there?


just saw 100% financing this offer is too tempting ?


Umeiona hii offer wapi @Subaru?

@Subaru where is that?

Barclays.

I am in the biz and this is the low down.
1. Trucks have become too accessible and you are joining the already populated market. Too many trucks on the road and very few business.
2. You can never do 4 trips in a week. Factor loading and offloading time and you already loosing at least 12hrs. Factor driver/turnboy fatigue and you loose 24hrs. The maximum trips in a week you can do is 3 assuming you do not go past Kisii, Kisumu, Kakamega, Eldoret etc.
3. DHL do not contract individuals with less than 5 trucks. Its so hectic getting into DHL. The pay depends on the goods you are carrying.Pharmaceuticals & Tobacco pay more. For the most common, Unilever products, woo unto you. Not lucrative as it may sound. I carry for DHL so I know.
4. Employees will steal, siphon fuel,goods will be stolen at Salgaa, Maimahiu etc.But dont worry about that, leave to Godd.
5. FH has a general problem with the breaking system. Juakali market will expect you to carry 10Tonnes, at times even 12tonnes. Thats where all your woos will begin with FH. You will change break linings until you decide to carry recommended 7Tonnes.
6. If you are gonna be repaying a loan for the track, look for plan B


Good advice!

One more thing that I've learnt. Brokers are a necessary evil. They will make a kill from connecting you to business but rarely will you make good business without involving them.
