Hcqmela:1.as far as women drive these luxurious buses then yes they can drive trucks too. The difference is in the reverse mechanism 2. Minimum should be about 70k I presume because since I started driving I have always made averagely above that self monthly, in diaspora truck drivers earn lots and lots of money, if you can become a certified truck driver in the US for instance your money would start pursuing eternity ooo 3. I would advice go for those six/ten tire trucks and after perfecting them follow a truck head attached to a trailer to learn reverse. Hope this answers your questions 1 Like |

anigbajumo:you are right sir. That's why the thread was started. Professionals like you can input what you think is beneficial |

Richdee1:I am fully based in lagos now. Since you are in benin anytime you have decided just stroll to a trailer park either along auchi road or agbor road and approach any driver to know the next steps. Good luck |

Powercouple:sorry but I already have someone attached. Take time to go to any trailer park close to you. |

Tarzan360: My point is that three months is too small to be a professional driver, it's basically not about driving alone. |

Richdee1:Someone has suggested that already last year but i don't think i could do it. I mean, i cannot do that while driving i don't even know how to do that. But i can learn and see if i could do it somebody teach me. At this moment i am not driving and i haven't driven for sometime due to the EU covid 19 restrictions. I am driving trains at the moment. |
Re: Have You Ever Considered Learning Truck Driving? by Richdee1(m): 7:55am On Jul 31, 2021 |
Calitoscassius: Trains? Wow! I'll love to see how Nigerian Drivers take on Trains in the Abroad |
Re: Have You Ever Considered Learning Truck Driving? by Calitoscassius(m): 8:00am On Jul 31, 2021 |
antimason:There are no hammering! it just driving trucks, but you are right, the driving conditions are better here. We use Tacograph and we must take break after 3 to 4 hours or 6 hours driving the Taco will indicate when breaks are due. We have bed, TV, airconditioner, heating and somewhere to hang cloths in our cabins. Sometimes it can be very cold, no rushing, once we deliver we drive home empty, we also stay in hotels sometimes (the company pays) But this moment i am driving trains. Due some EU covid 19 restrictions on truck driving I am not vaccinated yet. 2 Likes |
Re: Have You Ever Considered Learning Truck Driving? by Calitoscassius(m): 8:10am On Jul 31, 2021 |
Richdee1:Yes! Due to EU vaccination rules (i am not vaccinated yet) i packed up trucking ATM. It easy but not easy, it is mainly to do with safety, pull the lever and follow the track lines on the computerised screen, some trains are driverless, so all needed to do is announce the stops with a speaker. It requires a rigorous health and safety trainings that many have failed. I failed 7 times before passing and cost money, each time you fail you pay again to train. |

Calitoscassius:how did you go about getting a job oversees. What are the procedures. And like how much is someone still situated in Nigeria is supposed to have saved to even have a chance. It's something I am really interested in when I have gotten the means. And you are just being polite if you insist there is no hammering. |

Firstclass247: Me, too. Make out time on Monday let's go around trucks park and look for a driver to mentor us. |
Re: Have You Ever Considered Learning Truck Driving? by Nwaotu10(m): 9:42am On Jul 31, 2021 |
antimason: Thank you very much, sir. Since certificate is apparently otiose in this part of the world, I've decided to follow my passion which is career driving. All I'm looking for is a mentor. You sure it works that way? I doubt if there's any truck park in Onitsha. |
Re: Have You Ever Considered Learning Truck Driving? by Nwaotu10(m): 9:49am On Jul 31, 2021 |
antimason: Brotherly, you mind telling me how to go about this? How exactly do I locate a truck company in Onitsha? If you help me realize this passion, I will perpetually be indebted to you. 1 Like |

antimason:I got my first driving licence when i was 17 years old, I started working in burger bars and supermarkets at 18. I am not sure how to explain. I was born and bred in east london England by nigerian parents (IGBO) i have always worked part time during school holidays. I believe you are going to need a visa and work permit for work However, there are also nigerians and Ghanians i worked with as truckers and train drivers who have lived here for years. I am not sure how much you would need to relocate to Europe. If you already know someone in Europe it might help. @ hammering, for me it is a 5 day a week job but I am not going to lie the pay very is good with lots of benefits. 5 Likes |

invincible007:when you are reversing a small car, luxurious bus or even trucks that don't have a turn table(google for more info pls) it goes exactly where you gear the steering towards but in the case of a truck head with turn table hooked to a trailer it's opposite of where the steering is moved to. 1 Like |

Calitoscassius:ehn no wonder na. When I said hammering I was already calculating the pay converted to naira. Working for like just 3years and I would retire come back and open a multinational company oo. I want to work first and save money. But can't you serve as someone I know when the time comes? We where brought up and taught to fend for ourselves. I have one uncle in germany who was sponsored there by my dad. After I returned from turkey and he heard he was virtually laughing at me and my dad that he has always been telling us that travelling to abroad is not easy but I do see it common among siblings helping each other out. Na so the man matter tire me. I want to prove to him than anyone can choose his or her own destiny. I would surely land there by God's grace. 4 Likes |

Nwaotu10:approach people and ask especially those touts after the bridge. I personally haven't worked in onitsha yet to know much about the place. But there is a construction company in awka that is currently handling the airport bring built. You can still stroll there and meet any of the drivers available |
