Hello guys! Please I will need your advice on this.

I just finished my Nysc and have some money on me which I saved during this time and want to invest it properly.

I’m thinking of going into transport and sienna 2003 model is what my budget can get.

Please advise me. Is there hope in this business and would I be able to recover my money and make gains? Then how long.

What are the challenges in this business?

I don’t know how to drive so I will find somebody that will run it.

Please advise me on this if you have experience in this business. Thanks.

use the car and learn how to drive, then start by offering logistics services then privately paid runs for people within your residential state.
Don't give anyone to help you drive, high chances of regret awaits

Okay.
But will I really make my money back?
I was thinking if I get a good person that is ready to drive it will make sense?
Maybe elderly person

Onuahia:

It is good if you don't want the stress of having to monitor the driver

a well used car can last you for several years, so you should get your money back and more. Don't give anyone to help you drive, same way you shouldn't be in a haste to start making big money from the car. Some week earnings will be high while some will be low so don't use one week to judge others.

Thank you sir for this encouragement. But can I really learn this and start driving in one month?

Onuahia:

cos u wont be the one driving it yourself

also,u are not novice

today go say brainbox spoil,tmr na ECU dem go talk

or today na hub,tmr na wheel bearing

choose wisely

Driver your vehicle yourself or bring the money make we use am do big boy for town , @ least ud have good memories after the money finishes

Don't try it!!! Look for something else to do with your money. I bought 4 sienna's for transport business around 2018 and I regretted it. Had to sell off one by one and there was no strategy I didn't try even higher purchase didn't work.
I can tell u my experiences.
Go into it if u have other successful businesses that are generating a lot of income so u can take your time to grow your transport business and build customer base gradually as it takes time so don't expect to be making profit overnight when u start.
It's a business that you need to be very patient, have a lot of capital at hand(a lot ooo)
Most importantly look for your own park either on lease or if u can buy at a very strategic location in the states u will be shuttling between.

Don't give your car out to anybody to drive and remit back to you,yOu will be cheated and the car will definitely come back way worse in no distant time.if care is not taken the car will die prematurely in their hands and there is nothing you can do.take your time to learn how to drive,and practice in your neighborhood,hope you know car various parts price is over 150 percent increase in the market,the more reason to not give anybody

Alright sir.
I will learn it.
I’m just thinking how much it will cost me to get driving license and other things that will not make police and road safety people worry me.

I laugh in "you will find someone that will run it" get ready for enough daily bed time stories. If you want to do something than handle it yourself so as not to get a high BP at your very young age.

� Alright sir. Multiple people have told me this and I have taken the advice and ready to learn how to drive so that I will be running it by myself.
But I don’t know how long it will take me to learn and embark on journey loaded with people.

As i mentioned earlier , i was in this business for 2 years with 4 siennas which i bought toks. I bought a 2005 sienna for 2.2m then and ended up selling each at about 600k to 700k after the business killed my vehicles and its not like there was not a maintenance plan. Let me advise u from experience, Its not worth it for the following reasons.
1. Cost of vehicle parts and maintenance is on the high side since our currency became useless. Example if u choose to load from lagos to delta with your 7 seater sienna, If u load 10k each for 7 passengers that's 70k and settle park fee(10k), u have 60k left and u buy full tank (10k) , u have 50k and u have miscallenous expenses of 5k for like settling police, touts, feeding etc, u have 45k as profit for that day. If once tyre spoil, that's like 15k to buy grade one toks transport tyre, if one hub spoil that's 15k to change minus workmanship, if steering rack spoil that's 35k minus workmanship. Sienna parts are really expensive now and what u make for a trip will hardly be enough after spending money on maintenance and repairs.

2. Have u been to a public park before? You have to register your vehicle there to load and trust me before it gets to your turn to load again, 100 or more vehicles will load before yours so do the maths(u may only load once in 2 weeks or 3 weeks even if u register with multiple parks). They will also be deductions when u manage to load from that park like some parks will deduct one passenger seat money as their charge or even more. You will pay some Union money in some States yearly before u can pass through if not your vehicle will be impounded and u will pay up to 30k fine.

3. You have no driving experience and interstate driving is a high risk driving that even seasoned experts with years of experience can still have accidents not to talk of u learning now to ply interstate route because you will be endangering your live and lives of your passengers if u are not experienced enough.

4. I don't need to tell you there is high insecurity and so many kidnapping happening lately. You will be exposed to all that.

5. Its stressful. If manage to load u won't leave till your vehicle is fully loaded and it means u may leave late to join serious traffic. Can u handle being in traffic for up to 5hours or more occasionally? Can u handle extortion from area boys each time u stop to dropba passenger at a particular park or bus stop? Can u handle regular police extortions? Like east west road has more than 50 check points placed for extortion and yet the roads are still not safe from insecurity.

Finally, I hope I was able to convince you not to invest in transport business especially interstate. Its not worth it at all and there are other reasons I couldn't remember or have the time to type about it.
Unless u want to risk looking older than yourself at your 30s with bp and stress, I'll advise u look for other safe and less stressful investments.

Go to a very good and reputable driving school. If you are a very fast learner. Max 2 months you are good to go, if not its 3 months for you.

You will get it within a month,I think the 3years fresh driving license goes for 35k.
I have a sure plug who will help you get it within one month.

I was supposed to pay for the sienna yesterday only to get to Portharcourt to hear that it’s sold just some minutes ago.

Am sad now

I took my time to explain to you twice my brother on your thread to explain my experience and why you shouldn't go into it but I'm surprised u didn't even acknowledge my message to you or say anything about it.

Anyway I wish u all the best my brother.

So you have a Sienna already? Sell it. Go for Uber compliant vehicles!

It's a command!

@ carparts888 I was thinking of this transportation business, but my question is where u driving any of the sienna yourself?

Onuahia:

Alright sir.
I will learn it.

Onuahia, please don't buy and give your vehicle to someone to drive. Drive the vehicle yourself

As for driving licence, if you are in the east, Imo State to be precise l can run it for you.
5yrs driving licence is 35k, while 3yrs is 30k.

Dm if you are interested

No I had drivers but I drove myself for some charter/hire or when I had high value way bills.
Feel free to ask me any questions, I will be glad to share my experience and advise you based on experience.
