UGANDA COFFEE EXPRESS 11/8/82
All drivers would wear prescribed uniforms, and would wear the
uniform only while on duty.
A full-time Driver Trainer would conduct on-going driver
training, and would also be Driver Supervisor.
Driver compensation would be on the basis of shillings per t
There would be no monthly salary. In other words, if the
driver doesn't work he doesn't get paid.
Because the operation would function seven days a week, some
drivers would be required to work weekends and/or holidays.
The driver working on Sunday would receive pay at straight time,
but would receive double time for holidays.
4. Customs Procedure:
In order for the Uganda Coffee Express to operate at
optimum efficiency, the customs procedure would have to be
streamlined. At the present time, it takes up to two days to
clear customs at the border. If we can get the Uganda and
Kenya customs officials to work together, we would attempt to
negotiate the following Customs Agreement:
a) The customs documents would be prepared at the
origin point.
b) The trailers would be sealed at the point of origin.
c) A convoy of 18 units would leave Kampala each day
at 7 A.M., and arrive at Malaba at 11 A.M.
d) A convoy would leave Nakulu, Kenya each day at 7 A.M.,
arriving at Malaba at approximately 2 P.M.
e) The customs officials at Malaba would verify the
serial numbers on each trailer and let the convoy
pass through the customs.
f) A daily police escort would be provided from Kampala
to Nakulu. The same procedure would apply from
Mombasa to Nakulu.
