Apart from ealiry, tuec drivers would .need daily allowiance for
the tir.no they ure out of Kampanla. As r, m~tter of fPct- * thoy. wQuld._..
remuin out of ifanpaia for most of the time, driving between Zampala
and Vlomb.Bsa in both directions. It in learnt that Kenatco paid its
drivora an 1.lowance of Kah.85, or about 8.5 per night. Thin could
become ;.. larcE o::j~onnu - about Z5,5O0 a yer for each lorry including
its trailer.
Buffet oar
bince coffee might be roved from I ,tunpala in fairly large
convoys, of lorries, eity, about 50 in each trip, it might be worthwhile
to have a buffet cxr to acconpiuny each convoy. All the
drivors and othoru in the convoy would ittae nil the four meals from
the buffet car. They have to ts,)nd thc: night on their vehicles
aWw y, irrespectivo of whether there in the buffet car or not. By
arrauging a buffet c,-ar, the drivers' daily aniowanco can be" avoided,,
This would oliriin-tte the cost of ;275,900 a yetar, on account of the
drivers' daily allow-nce for the convoy of 50 vehlicles.
AL; ajainst thin qivirg, the: aidc it'onal c oct of a buffet c,,r and
the food it,.m, would have to ho incurred. An equipped buffet car
would cost ar, much no a lorry including the trailer, and so the
operationwil co.nts of tho buffet car would b. nenrly an much as
thoso of Pi lorry + trtiler, ,:.cept tha.it the buffue car wotld
havu to h:ve two cookes inl jddit'.on to tWO drivers. These costs,
ii(!J.tiding the co't of two 0cooks, roughly work out to V7;,00 a
ye.ir. The coot of raw food is ektimtod to be about J2 p(:r
person ,ior day, or nuarly 75,0OO a yuar for the whole convoy
of 50 lorries ,and tr-iles plus a buffet car. This mak:L: a total
of .;150,0O0 a yoar for n convoy of 50 lorricU and trailers. The
coot po-r lorry ind trailer for the %loleyear is thtue noarly
05, 000.
