Selling granite and the stuff is not the only product we specialise in.

Even if you have soo much to invest and you wont mind to start a CAPITAL INTENSIVE
business of QUARRYING,

Then may be I can help you comprehensively,

Do you even know waht it takes to start a quarry, ?

My intention specifically, is to enlighten the buyers
on how to clamp down a bit (not totally eradicate)
the so called cheat as to the measurements of
Quarry stuff or Granite for lay men

@poster
so, can you tell us anything about pricing of these materials?

well, I hope my head will not be asked for in this situation,
thats y i will like us to approach it this way,

I will like you to ask a specific question on been cheated or something like that,
then i will respond,
but if it's too much for public consumption then i will respond dirrectly to ur box or msg,

dont mind me ,

i hv already been on a hot seat,

but anyway,

In the first instance,
If i may ask anybody,

How do you confirm specifically the accuracy of tons you are supplied, ?
The reason is this, if you have a means of confirming your supplies,
then it will guide you during the negotiation.

You will agree with me that a buyer who doesnt have a weigh bridge,
or those ever-accurate manual means (like those ones used by the
lebanese contractors and some other experienced buyer) should possibly
negotiate based on firstly: trailer load and then what tons makes the trailer load negotiated

Then this is how you can now sieve the accuracy of what you will be supplied,


Sit tight, plss

I hope you know what you are doing, ?

and i will advice you that you should start
what you can cope with,

a word is enough for a wise,

THREAD SOFTLY

@jamesdpath, are there differences between the 10, 20, 25 and the 30tons lorry, and if there are, how can you tell. And before the tipper is offload, is there a way to verify you are getting what you paid for?

@wellbusyy, Take a walk and don't threaten any body here.

I hope james name is different from ajileko

@ james y do u need to use james (are you not bearing abbey again,
you want to try your too know here,

jst imagine the scene @ the quarry site only,
let alone the one on the world wide web,

a word is enough for the wise boy,

@Ajileko

As far as I know,

There is no difference.

there is only 10ton truck and 30ton trailer.

But

THE 10TON TRUCK

it depends on the bucket size and the engine /tyre capacities,
We have some 10ton trucks that can only carry <less than 10tons
of granite while some are strong enough to carry up to 15 tons,

Same thing applies to 30TON TRUCK.
The bucket size and the engine /tyre capacities make a lot of differences in
What they can load.
We have those that cant load more than 22tons while some can load up to 33
Tons of GRANITE

WELL that doesn’t mean that they cant use 10ton truck to supply you a bargain of 20ton
GRANITE, and from my explanation the 10ton truck doesn’t mean the truck is carrying a 10 ton
Granite… U UNDERSTAND, ?

You can easily tell once you know that the lorry can only be 10ton truck or 30ton trailer…

Your second QUE. ?
The way to verify is thru a WEIGHBRIDGE (about 8m worth) or if you know how to measure
it manually like some of the OYINBOS.

Then another way of knowing (though not really accurately) is when you are accustomed to
Buying the stuff (GRANITE) and that is when its tipped. At least your years of experience will
come to play here, at least you know how a 30ton GRANITE should look like on the ground when it's tipped…
The only EDGE there is this … a 2 ton difference in your bargain and the supply cant be detected
by eyes except if the difference is up to 3,4, tons.

Don’t let me say more than these… they are @ my back to nail me as soon as possible…


@WEllbussy,
Oga mi Sir,

with that great things you have done being an ordinary agent,
and that one @ the quarry site, its not my fault its the customers' opinion
to leave the CROOKS and buy dirrectly from the QUARRY,
it is only the truth that sets free.
BE FAIR TO THEM AND THEY WILL BE YOURS PERPETUALLY FOREVER
I think you should assist me in cleaning this environment,
Though not by force

Na the thin wey i go chop na im i dey look for ooooooo

in a better and legal way, u got it?

@ajileko

before the truck tips, ask them to level the granite inside the bucket, then tape measure the length and breadth of the bucket after which you will dip an iron rod right through the centre of granite while standing on it, mark where the granite reaches on the rod, then do your calculation, what you want to get is the volume which is (length x breadth x height).

Once the volume of what they bring to you is known, then getting the mass (weight) is easy since the density of granite is constant and density is Mass divided by volume.

You know your volume and your density so multipy the two to get the mass.

Will be glad to help you further, if need be.

@all
Why breathing down each other's neck on top what?!

@styrax, I'm almost there but not quite. I got the volume, Density and the Mass calculations but how do you apply this in a real world situation. Let's say you are buying a 20 Tons of granite from Baba Oyo and the lorry has just arrived. Take me through this.

Thanks.

@ ajileko
let me give help here

an average trailer bucket size can be measured as,

Oga mi sir

averagely.
the density of granite is 2750kg/m^3 (+/-)

but if you negotiate on trailer basis and you start to measure to confirm the tonnage.
then problem may surface.

if you will confirm the ton,
then make sure you negotiate base on ton not trailer.

Chris did you get my mail, ?

@mr banji

Pls post your comment here,

once there is nothing to hide
or we continue from here

Its not compulsory for me to bring it down to your site.
You can as well arrange for a trailer and come to our quarry
to buy directly @ the quarry price.
I think i will even prefer it that way.

after you have calculated your expenses then you will know
why you should not expect to get that number of tons @ that price.

But with that calculation it means i have never bought 30tons since.

abbey,
are you there?

That doesn't mean if i sell it to you i will load 30ton.
I can only reduce my MARGIN and increase the ton a little bit.

but i will make sure you know about everything as much as possible.
or as much as you want.
At least little margin from many hands = ,

@James

what is your price for a trailer of 30tons
If you are given an LPO to do few nos of supply,
what is your capacity, in terms of volume that
you can handle and for how long.

try and be specific.
its not a monopoly market. don't foget

30ton = 150k

It depends on what your policy is.

like how much you need and at what pace,

its important to know that

though at least/minimum

we can supply you 30 trailers for 3/4 weeks LPO MATURATION,

Sir,
but you still need to let me know ifyou have gotten the mail.
though action speaks louder.

how do you survive in your biz when,
Your 2 phone lines hardly connect throughout the weekend
and you hardly check your mails or reply.

James na wa for una

@

@Clancy
Am so sorry,
Pls check your mail.
It was due to some circumstances beyond my control.

Am sooooooo sorry

hey abbey do u do cement?

No.
Let me see if i can get you a reliable person.

Then about our work, my fingers are still crossed and on deck.

Ssomebody discussed with me about the sales of a large expanse of land believing to be useful for QUARRY.

bUT before i discuss further about it let me have his permission, then,
