Hello Fello NL,
I got these offline questions from a fellow NL and the I've answered. I thought it good to share

The first questions are:

1.] How profitable exactly is this business?

It is profitable. It takes just about a year to recoup investment. The remaining 3 years will be profit. I used 3 years because this is the best time to fling a vehicle to avoid high maintenance cost
2.] Is it safe? As in the truck & stocks doing a disappearing act?

It is safe enough especially if put in charge of a proper company and you had done background checks and guarantor for your drivers. There is also the tracker system prevalent now to know where the trucks are at anytime
3.] What type of trucks are the best to start the business considering the Nigerian roads and terrain?

The best to use are the ones that you can find good mechanics for easily in Nigeria and the parts are cheaper to source. I know MAN, BENZ & DAF falls into this category. I see lots of MACK too
4.] What are the unseen risks? You must have been running your business for a while now, please share your experience.
Accidents, missing goods, buying a bad truck, drivers doing PP runs,drivers carrying stolen goods and getting caught,bad mechanics. The list is endless and you see new things everyday.
5.] This business appears to have little barriers to entry other than initial capital to purchase the trucks. Question: can it be considered a long term business or just quick money spinner?

It does have little barrier to entry but only the serious players last long. People get burned all the time and the difference between the successful ones and those that are not is 'Control' and staying strong in spite of challenges
6.] What kind of maintenance do the trucks need per month/quarterly/half-year/yearly? Bearing in mind the capricious nature of the Nigerian mechanics?
Monthly:Servicing,oil change, all others are on a need basis and the frequency of usage. The drivers usually advise the owner when he notices such things. Good mechanics have referrals,so it is important you get one from an experienced haulage person
7.] What about the Nigerian Police & touts issue? How do they add to the overhead?

Ah! drivers usually get road expenses to cover for these set of people and it varies depending on the distance and how bad the area is.East is a notorious area and petrol tankers are more prone to extortion
8.] What kind of returns should one expect realistically from the vevnture? If you can include some figure breakdown.

Oga sir. this is consultancy work o! This depend on the size of your truck and the company contract you are able to source. Like I said average return is 1yr.Best case, divide the price of your truck by 12 months and that should be just about what you make monthly. Worst case by 18 months

9.] How much hand-on does the business needs? The focus here is finding the right individual to operate the business since I doubt owner/driver is the right way.
It is your choice. You can manage and bear all the headaches and you can give to managers to do for you and collect an agreed sum every month. I got burned by the 1st option and have now settled for the latter
10.] If money is no issue, what type of truck would you advice starting with?

Start with a 18-ton truck at least. The bigger the trucks, the better the returns. i stuck with an average size so as to learn properly before committing larger investment.

I am considering investing in haulage business (fuel tanker) and i need information on the questions below

1. What truck head and model is considered suitable for this purpose considering Nigerian factor (road, etc)?
2. Is it worth it shipping the truck head from overseas?
3. Since it is meant for fuel haulage, what is the estimate of fabricating the tanker (i know this will depend on the litre capacity,say 30000ltrs) or is it better to go for a used one?

I know this information and much more will be at the fingertips of respectable nairalanders,so kindly advise on subject above.

Thanks
