Middle East transport business is perhaps not as rewarding as it
should be, what with depressed rates, agency fees, Turkish .back-handers and border delays -but it does pay off for some. Drivers to the Middle East have found a number of ways of making "a little bit on the side'' although I doubt if all have been as fortunate as one I heard of recently.
