Trailer Or Tipper/dump Truck Which One Is More Lucrative? by Dubino(m): 2:41am On Nov 06, 2009 |
I am interested in going into truck transportation business, but I don't know which one is more lucrative, trailer/tanker or tipper/dump truck. Please I am in urgent need of advice from NL members. I am capable of starting up with about N12m. I also want to know what and what are needed to start it and what make and model truck is preferable. I have access to MACK, KENWORTH, PETERBILT, WESTERN STAR and VOLVO. I don't have access to MERCEDES, MAN DIESEL, DAF and SCANIA but I can import them from EUROPE if they are more preferable. I mean any advice on this will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

Truck heads/Tractor units will make you 55k everyday. The truck can do a maximum of 3trips per week @ 80k per trip. Therefore: One trip - 80,000 Fuelling - 11,000 (110 per ltr, 100 ltrs per work day) Driver's allowy 7,000 (per work day) Miscellenous 7,000 Balance 55,000per trip Multiply by 3 and u get 165,000 per wk and 660,000 per month 3 Likes 1 Share |

Patrick45,I can not thank you enuogh for your quick response and detailed explanation. God bless you. I know that MACK, MERCEDES, MAN DIESEL, DAF and SCANIA are popular in Nigeria, which one of them do you think is better as regards to Nigeria? Again, how much do you think it will cost to put one trailer on the road? Do you also have idea how much the DUMP TRUCK (Big ones with ten tires) could be making a week or a month? |

Technic, yes I want to buy trucks, however I still need to find out which ones are better for Nigeria. Also I am considering tractor/trailer or Dump truck/tipper. I'll get in touch with you as soon as I finish the market survey. |

@ Dubino I think 'Mack' is the best followed by Daf. All the best. |

Thanks DemmyDaat, I've been thinking so myself. |

Hi , All forms of transport business are worthwhile here. THE MAIN ISSUE IS OPERATION. YOU NEED TO BE HANDS-ON IN RUNNING IT OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE INVESTED FOR OTHERS TO BENEFIT AND YOU WILL LOSE OUT. SO if you are not ready to run it check your self or find someone who is trust worthy , (which is very hard in Nigeria now) |
Re: Trailer Or Tipper/dump Truck Which One Is More Lucrative? by Dubino(m): 3:14am On Nov 26, 2009 |
Jnze, Thank you so much for hitting the nail on the head. To tell you the truth,issue of a trustworthy person to run it for me is another big worry for me. I've a trusted brother though,but he is not too familiar with transportation business. Again,I am thinking about scaling down on my start up and see how it goes,before investing more on it. |
