RV Still Believe In Polls ? Ambithos Infortrack Now says Raila will Win 2022

[RV Pundit]

What you call dispatch abroad is jaluo kind of guy - who take a cut for every job - brokers - ya mzigo - there is one jaluo at chinese ceremic that I had to pay 50k - mombasa is full of brokers - or clearing/forward. Those are ONLY PEOPLE making money.

Yes road construction has money as long as you get a good driver who wont cause gear/engine damage.

Generally it very tough business. It's better to invest in treasury bonds and real estate...or open a petrol stations...anything that has very few risks.

  Pundit in Kenya the best way to make money in trucking is to get those 6 or 10 wheeler and either put a tanker or tipper trailer then get into road construction either delivering water or road construction materials from soil to Kokomo especially with the Chinese. Of course you might have to grease those roads engineers to get it. Your only expense is driver and maintenance.  Fuel they take care of it.  Your truck does very short trips so breakdowns are minimal.  You can take home anywhere from 3 to 500k shillings depending on the deal. I have this jaluo jeuri engineer friend of mine who takes 50k from each truck monthly where he is the supervisor.

Perfectly put at this rate you will be the "real" nipate genius. This is what is on the ground I can vouch from that from my experience s selling sand fromm tharaka to Nairobi and other areas 7years ago, construction trucking especially pouring water might seem slow but has real money.
I only quit after realising am constantly far from my family and I was slipping away with earthly life. The money came good an I used to hang with some Kalenjin women who made life very easy

   Nothing beats experience Njuri. You have to get in the mud to understand some things.

FB: $80K contract is not a lot of dough. Dude, eka mathabu....that's $40/Hr Gross before you pay wages and wear and tear of the semis. It really comes to about $20/Hr on W2 All-Inclusive because you are paying for your benefits....kind of a Walmart shift lead. Dude, you are a Hustle...you better on board.

[Nowayhaha]

A Luo calling Kikuyu idiots. Well then goes ahead to show the idiot he is....

[Nowayhaha]

Ambitho is just doing what she has been doing all those years from 2007 all the way to 2017.
Her polls have been saying Raila will win and oh my Raila has never won any General Elections , Come 2022 same scenario.

Should Ambitho worry about security?

[Nowayhaha]

Tell me one presidential candidate who has ever won an election on account of Opinion polls ?

This is just the beginning. By June 2022 opinion polls it wil be baba 51 Ruto 46% its really laughable the projection always is predictable. Generally Mlima people care less about the opinion polls,apo kwa debe ndio mtajua hamjui.

What I hate is trying to play with people's akili and try to sway them.

     Trucking is very tricky. You have to find the right balance to make it. Less than a year before we graduated from college in Michigan ,it became obvious that getting a job let alone OPT was going to be a challenge for most international students so we came up with an idea to try trucking. Luckily for me my cousin hooked me up with an internship and I moved to New England but a few of my buddies got their CDLs  and got in. Back then the big companies would offer free training then you had to work with them for a while to pay back. By 2007-08 we got together and formed a small trucking company to run our own. Since I couldnt leave my job which I had been hired on a contractual basis I bought a truck and got a driver and another one 6 months later. Now from an insiders perspective I can tell you for sure that you see a lot of money on paper but your take home is very little. To give you an example on a weekly basis you need to gross about 5000 dollars which then breaks down as follows, diesel about 1500 bucks minimum, driver at 25-30% of gross translates to 1250-1500 bucks, tolls another 100-200 depending on where you go, dispatch fee or commission at 13% of gross  translates to about 650 bucks if you dont own the company. The remaining amount if you are lucky not to have an idiot driver blow a tire or two then at the end of the month you have truck payments , insurance and trailer payments which are very expensive. On average insurance costs about 25k a year. Now dont get me wrong you can still make something and I did but the best two ways are as an owner operator where you save driver costs and other costs associated with dispatch etc . In this case if you pay yourself 1200 for driving and make an extra 500 bucks as an owner then you have something worthwhile. The best way is definitely to just own a company like I finally did around 2012 and just provide dispatch services. You charge lets say 10-13% on gross and because you dont own the trucks and trailers you make easy money. Of course you have to deal with DOT all the time so you have to hire a lot of staff to help keep track of things. That way if you have 20 or so trucks grossing 200k a year each then you are talking of 4 million in gross revenue. You take out your commission at 10-13% and you have 400k to 600k before your expenses which are office, staff and factoring fees. So when you see those kisii guys on you tube be careful not to buy too much into the hype. Been there, done it myself but I never drove the trucks . I did however go a a few trips with my buddies when on vacation and the sights can be hilarious. You take I-80 from New Jersey to Salinas Valley California a 3000 mile journey in a few days and its breathtaking.

You broke it down well, though you did not list the hidden costs and health deterioration if you do trucking for extended period of time. Usually 10+ years will put you to grave almost 20 years early.  A 60 year old trucker driver who has been trucking since 40s usually spend 500K in medical bills in retirement!

You assholes know that I am right, I am right all the times. Raila will be the next president in Kenya, he will win it in the second round.

[RV Pundit]

Raila win is improbable if not impossible. Go slow on weed.

Raila biggest task is to convince NASA - all of them - just to get to 45 percent - and then to look for 5 percent more from GEMA to beat Ruto.

So far OKA folks have refused to endorse Raila

   Am very curious to know about what you just said on Miguna hiding information.  Could you share what it was please.  I suspected so but when I mentioned it Omollo came at me with all the matusi he could think of.

   RvH  I  get what you are saying but every job has its risks and rewards.  The modern truck driver though has a better work schedule and lifestyle.  Those new rigs have a fridge and microwave so one can pack home cooked food and avoid eating junk.  Most trucking companies now do regional hauling so the drivers are home every few days if not every day.  At those truck stops you see there are very good amenities like gyms for exercise.  The  reason why you see a shortage of truck drivers is being caused by scheduling.  The days of keeping a trucker away from home for weeks are gone.  Every one with a CDL can walk into a truck sales yard and get a rig based solely on that license. You know some companies like Walmart are paying up to 100k a year and I've seen offers of up to 30k for sign on bonuses.  I know it's short term but it's something big.  As I put it earlier don't try to buy a truck then hire a driver here because you might end up with a heart attack or depression.  As F&B  said if you own it then drive it yourself. Years ago it was very good to hire drivers but now it's not worth it.  But when you hit that sweet spot you smile all the way to the bank.  To give you an example I used to get a contract for 3 months with JB Hunt in the winter to haul within 300 mile radius from several stations in  Windsor Locks Connecticut, College Station PA and Culpepper Virginia for 1200 bucks.  If we went into the islands of New York then an extra 300 bucks.  In those three months with about 5 trucks we would do about a  million in gross revenues.  So yes there are attendant risks but sometimes the rewards can be plenty.  Remember even pilots are away from home alot and mostly you are just holed up in a hotel if not at the airport then the cockpit.  The only difference is you are in the air and the machine costs millions of dollars.
