Can some one tell me more how to invest 2 million into Haulage business ? or any details or help into the world of Haulage business will be appreciated ,  pls let me hear from you all 

the money will not be enough to procure a truck but you can hire one with it and use it for haulage. but i have a biz idea that will give about N400k per month. Guaranteed!!. the risk is not much. _{chiyostar@yahoo.com}

You can. Dont mind all these posters trying to sell you wonderful returns. I own and manage 3 trucks and I know the N2m can buy you at least one 8-ton truck with enough left to run break even or do other small businesses. As a starter I always advise you to start small so as to learn well before committing larger investment.

I have seen many managing options here.While some of the returns they are claiming are realistic, you need to be careful as most of them are way too optimistic and that can only mean scam or there will be bitter quarrels in the future. If you want to be in it for the long run,learn under an expert and manage it yourself.

The 1st truck for 1.2 million was given to a supposed big man that promised 130k monthly. He not only ruined the truck in less than a year, I got only N200k all through the period. I started on my own and in less than 2 years added 2 more. I'm a woman,so you ain't got an excuse!

@delampy i think you got the ideas and please how do one make contacts in this business in having clients / companies to work with and after buying the truck what do you think is next ,

@paramajit,

are you interested in the business? the answers to ur questions cannot be covered in this forum. You will have to schedule a meeting and the best advice I give is learn under the masters.I am not in that class yet
Send me a mail at kay_lamp@yahoo.com to signify your interest and we will take it from there

yes i am interested but i need you to help me out with answer to the qustn

@ paramajit,
You can do btter than this.You need to give some information before you can be helped. Haulage is so varied that the experiences in different fields matter. There is oil&gas, flat beds, tippers,compactors etc. Check up fullforce thread,he has covered most of the areas. Therefore getting contact depends on where you want to play in. Oftentimes, you have your truck insured,proper company registered,pay all the levies due across all local govts and start sending out proposals. Believe me, one of them will give you an opportunity. For some starters, you might want to be under somebody's fleet until you have enough number of trucks to bid for contracts yourself.

My dear,
Investment at times don't come with what u think. What you need mostly is a mentor- someone truly capable with experiences. Think wisely to safeguard ur hard earned money.
Regards

If the 2M is all you have pls don't venture haulage. This is from personal experience and i have pals in this biz also. Unless maybe you want to manage, drive and repair the truck yourself. Think about some other business you can manage yourself..I agree the risk in every business, but some are not just worth it. Good luck.
