Default Have you trucked in Africa? (Truckers News)

Good morning!

I'm working on a story for Truckers News about trucking in Africa, and I'm having a hard time finding anyone who has done it! Figured someone here might have. Please shoot me a private message with your contact info if you have driven a truck in Africa and would be willing to do an interview.

Thanks!

sorry to say, but not me. but to help you out a bit, have you done any google searches for military drivers..?? surely they can help you out, albeit from a military perspective.

give it some time though, there are many people that are away for the time being. they'll be back soon enough.

good luck on your project....!!

There are MANY current African truck drivers in Africa being hijacked at night and companies there looking for Drivers but not many people wanting to become Victims.
You might try a Search Engine and type African Truck Drivers.
Here's what I received mostly about AIDS and H.I.V.:

I've read some interesting stories about trucking in Africa. Driving through the ghettos in the U.S seems to be a cake walk compaired to the stuff those folks have to put up with.
