My friend i think we can both work together cos am already looking for partners in that area.

there is an opportunity am trying to take advantage of. My broda works with a major shipping company (name withheld). they need transpot contractor and my bros is arranging for me to take advantage of it. i need about five trucks to register. i dnt have any and CANT afford one for now. that is y i need partners to leverage on. i always believe in partnership, i have worked with many people i met here on nairaland some without even seeing them face to face like the guy that registered my company. IF U SENSE ANY FORM OF IRREGULARITY U CAN PULLOUT AS SOON AS U WANT. I have my lawyers and i quess u have too. i DNT like complications.


1 u can buy a truck ( cant send spec now) while we manage it on ur behalf and make monthly or quarterly CONSTANT AND MANDATORY deposits to u. monthly deposits range from 300k to 500k depending on the truck spec, age and current “health”. U will not be involved in the daily management of the truck or running of the biz.

2 U can have the truck and patner with me to run the biz. We will rely on my expertise, links and experience. U will be involved in the daily running of the biz and we share the risk and the reward at an agreed rate.

This is an overview of the biz, do make ur considerations. Just know that whichever choice u make, there is profit to be made.


my company name is GOLDBERG CONCEPT. my number is 07034268732 we can talk at nite. email kinharold2@yahoo.com

Best Regards

Please my brother, don't let anybody deceive you in partnership with them. there is money in haulage business. mu friends and i call it drug money because we make money from it monthly. if u have a good manager and a good driver, u will make money live.
i work in the Apapa ports. i will teach this business. u dont need anybody, all u need is urself and that driver.
i will teach you transfer(ICD) this is the delivering of containers to bonded terminals. And normal delivering. this is the delivering of containers along the streets of lagos. U will make money every month an average of 500k.
dont let anyone chop you, my friend
call me on 08028292956 for more details

Guys, I met someone who is already in the business, though i work full time now but still want to do this business as am not ready to step out fully now at least not untill the business settles down very well.

He is suggesting, that he runs the truck with his own and he is ready to be paying me N350,000 - N400,000 per month. I need advice from someone in that business asap

Thanks for the responses i have gotten so far.
Grace N Peace!

container transport business for sale can be very risky if you are not on ground. Its a big business and you can make alot of money. I know this business very well but your Driver will kill your business if they are not trustworthy. Use GPS and make sure the client pay 60% upfront before loading and you will be fine..
