Can any one in the house advise me on wich truck is the best for haulage business in nigeria

it depends but i heard Mack is the best

Thanks,still need more advise.

THE QUESTION IS A TECHNICAL ONE. MACK AND DAF TRUCKS ARE THE COMMON ONES IN NIGERIA. THIS IS BECAUSE THE ARE RUGGED AND THEIR PARTS ARE EASILY LOCATED. AN AVERAGE TRUCK TECHNICIAN CAN SPOT THEIR TECHICAL ISSUES, THOUGH WE HAVE SPECIALISTS AS WELL.
YOUR LOCATION AT THE MOMENT DETERMINE THE TYPE YOU CAN EASILY FIND AMONG THE TWO. IF YOU ARE IN AMERICA, MACK TRUCKS ARE EASY LOCATED AND SPOTTED. IF YOU ARE IN EUROPE, DAF TRUCKS ARE EASILY SPOTTED AS WELL.
HOWEVER, I AM NOT SAYING THAT OTHER TRUCKS ARE NOT GOOD, I AM GIVING THE ADVISE BASED ON MY WORK EXPERIENCE IN THE PORTS AND AS A HAULAGERS. DO YOUR RESEARCH VERY WELL BEFORE YOU VENTURE INTO HAULAGE, AS SWEET AS THE BUSINESS IS, SO THE SWEAT. BUT FORTUNE HAS ALWAYS FAVOURED THE BRAVE ONES.
THERE ARE OTHER THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT KNOWING THE TYPE OF TRUCK TO BUY. INFACT YOU ASKED FOR THE CHEAP QUESTION IN HAULAGE.

What about (M.A.N AND MERCEDES TRUCK) am not yet on the business, but about to,that is why am asking for the best,strong and the one that have available parts in the market. thanks

As a teenager in secondary school, it was common for us to DAF and MAN around. I know little about them. But I'll be following to learn.

Thanks.

Daf is good for long distance haulage,man short distance heavy haulage even iveco too,but light long distance consider mack ,volvo is good like wise scania but not available servicemen and parts nationwide like mack,man,mercedes and daf in nigeria the best bet is mack south south, south east mercedes,north daf,while lagos anything drives

The truck will be use around lagos not for long distance.

HAVE YOU HEARD TERMS LIKE DOUBLE AXLE, SINGLE AXLE, MANUAL ENGINE, ELECTRIC ENGINE(BRAIN-BOX). DO YOU KNOW PRECISELY MODEL OF THE TRUCKS.
AFTER ALL THESE, YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE FLATBED LIKE SPRING AND BALLOON SUSPENSION.
WELL LETS NOT MAKE A BROUHAHA ABOUT THE ISSUE, SIMPLY GET A MACK TRUCK OR DAF.

good one thanks,still wellcome more advise.

As an experienced person in the haulage business, i will advise you to go for LHD trucks and regardless of any location you plan to use it, MACK,FORD,FREIGTLINER,MAN DIESEL and MERCEDES BENZ trucks are all good. so feel free to choose among any of these and trust me, you shall have rest of mind.

Thanks.

TO ANYONE WHO CARES.
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haulagemover@gmail.com

Thanks for your information.

HAULAGE BUSINESS IN NIGERIA DEMANDS DOUBLE AXLE TRUCKS. DONT BUY SINGLE AXLE TRUCKS. I BEG U. MOST SINGLE AXLE TRUCKS IN THE MARKET DECAY BEFOR THEY GET BUYERS FOR THEM, EVENTUALLY. UNLESS U ARE A NOVICE, THAT IS WHEN U WILL BUY A SINGLE AXLE TRUCK AT THE PRICE OF A DOUBLE AXLE TRUCK.
BE IT TIPPER,CONTAINER TRUCK,BOX TRUCK.PLS REMEMBER DOUBLE AXLE TRUCKS. YOU WILL GET TO KNOW WHY TOMORROW.

Thanks for your response.

ONE GOOD REASON WHY YOU NEED A DOUBLE AXLE TRUCK IS BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE GOODS. TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, A TRUCK SHOULD WEIGHT UP FROM 30 TONNES UPWARD IF YOU ARE GOING INTO TIPPER OR CONTAINER HAULAGE. MORE SO THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE GOODS THAT WE IMPORT WEIGHS FROM 25 TONNES UPWARD. MY EXPERIENCE OVER THW YEARS REVEALS THAT A 20FT CONTAINER MOST TIMES WEIGH FROM 27 TONNES UPWARD. IMAGINE THAT KIND OF WEIGHT ON A SINGLE AXLE TRUCK, PERHAPS YOU MAYBE CARRYING 2*20FT CONTAINERS ON A SINGLE AXLE TRUCK. DON'T YOU THINK YOU ARE PUSHING YOURSELF OUT OF BUSINESS GRADUALLY BECAUSE YOU WILL BUY TYRES AND SWEAT OUT. THAT IS WHY MOST TRUCK WITH A 20FT CONTAINER FLATBED STAY LONGER IN BUSINESS THAN TRUCK OWNERS WITH 40FT FLATBED.
YOU CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING IF YOU HAVE EVER OBSERVED THE OFFLOADING OF A CONTAINER. THE DOUBLE AXLE TRUCKS GIVE THE DRIVER A BETTER TOWING, BALANCING OF THE TRUCK. IF ONE OF THE TYRES BURST, THE OTHER TYRE WILL COMPLETE THE WORK AS LONG AS IT IS WITHIN LAGOS SUBURBS.

Thanks.

THE EXCHANGE RATE IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO BUY TRUCKS THESE DAYS. LATEST STATICS SHOWS THAT MAN DIESEL TRUCKS ARE THE CHEAPEST THESE DAYS. THEY ARE ALSO RUGGED ARE GOOD. ITS LIFE SPAN IS UP TO 4 YRS ON THE NIGERIAN ROADS. IT WILL MAKE THE SAME MONEY A MACK OR DAF TRUCK CAN MAKE.

@states: i think u av gotten enof advice

Now just gather some guts and go to a truck sales depot and make personal inquiries....u'll gain another vital pespective

Good.
