Really interested on learning truck driving...... How did you learn that?
you would have to follow an established truck driver around as a conductor(motor boy) to learn manually.

Virginity is pride! And believe me if your future husband meets you a virgin in your first night during your honeymoon then your standing with him is that of an exalted queen. Why not focus on the important things(your studies) and leave your virginity for the man that chooses to make you his wife in the future? Remember ones you lose it, it's gone forever. Follow people wey know road abeg.

Politics / Re: Ritual Killings: Timaya Asks People To Be Careful With Friends by antimason(m): 7:42pm On Jan 30, 2022
I am sad...Nigeria is in shambles,we are here discussing the rising trend in human killing disguised as ritual, and instead of bringing our heads together to proffer solution to these demeaning acts, we are bent on rivalling each other tribal wise. I have been going through nairaland these past years and there is this secretive rivalry between the Igbos and yorubas and hope it is curbed now before it goes out of hand. Young boys who are supposed to be the backbone of our nation's future are now being turned ritualists. What went wrong?, where did we get it wrong?.

Hello, bro


I was following ur comments and others on this thread.
A friend is talking about Belarus...
Can u share Ur ordeal about the Turkey experience
why not? I was to resume my 3year studies in school but I refused instead I went to stay with my dad in Ekiti so that I could process my document. The first red flag was when I was told it would be a non appearance visa(not appearing at the embassy),I relayed my fears to my dad and his response was that I kept my doubts to myself. The second red flag was when the visa came out and it was a five year visa with all ready made employment to one construction company in moldova, so I quickly googled it but met no company with such name,the same sequence with my dad occurred like the first do I kept mute. The D-Day for departure came and I was very excited, I travelled down from Ekiti to lagos expecting to move from MM lagos airport but I was told I would have to move through cotonou! I nudged my dad to atleast argue the departure airport with them but he still declined. It was later after I have been deported and having faced lots of hardship that I discovered they(the visa agents) chose cotonou because their bribery money was far cheaper than that of lagos. They bribed those cotonou airport officials to overlook my visa so that I would be allowed to board the plane. But when I got to turkey via ata-turk airport I was suppose to transit to ukraine through another flight,that was when the unbribable "oyinbo" in charge raised the alarm that my visa was fake. So I was deported same day got to Nigeria the next day.

The op failed to highlight many things involved.
He must be a rookie in the trucking industry.

In trucking, it's either you're a light duty driver or a heavy duty driver.

I doubt the OP making a pass at Dangote Transport driving test cos its a different thing driving ten tyre/mini trucks compared to heavy duty 22 tyre trucks.
Some driver move tomatoes, animals and foodstuffs while other move biscuits but for you to truck 45 tons of cement or Fuel/gas day in day out is on another level.

Drivers get grade.
drivers get grade? You are just on the path to scare these already stricken guys about articulated trucks. If driving the 22 tires you mentioned is making you feel like a well elevated truck lord remember it's someone that manufactured them. As far as I know a tipper driver that can drive a manual 10-20 tons can also drive your almighty 40-60 tons. Abi is the difference not the swift withdrawals of speed,heavy feel to the steering control,directing the long body into corners and reverse? People self learn reverse by themselves. My boss who taught me truck driving taught himself MACK trucks and reverse. The man after spending months in hunger couldn't bear it any longer and accepted to drive a Mack articulated truck when all his experience was limited to short tipper.

Really? I haven't heard such news, but it might be true, if it is then it might be drivers from the EU i would think. I will inquire more, if it is true try and apply for the job.
please do help me and inquire, as I was told it's 3month working visas to offset the shortage for rest of the year. But I am suspecting the same EU specs you mentioned. Thanks anyways

Foreign Affairs / Re: How The U.K Ended Up In A Fuel And Food Shortage by antimason(m): 3:34am On Sep 29, 2021
VeeJewel:

The haulage industry says the U.K. is short as many as 100,000 truckers, due to a perfect storm of factors including the coronavirus pandemic, an aging workforce and an exodus of foreign workers following Britain’s departure from the European Union last year. Post-Brexit immigration rules mean EU citizens can no longer live and work visa-free in Britain, as they could when the U.K. was a member of the bloc.

Several countries, including the United States and Germany, also are experiencing a shortage of truck drivers. But the problem has been especially visible in Britain, where it has contributed to empty supermarket shelves and shuttered gas pumps.

The government says panic buying is worsening the petrol supply problem, and urged people not to hoard fuel. On Sunday, it announced it is temporarily suspending competition laws so fuel firms can share information and target areas where supply is running low.

U.K.’s Conservative government announced Saturday that it will issue thousands of emergency visas to foreign truck drivers to help prevent a Christmas without turkey or toys for many British families. The government said it would issue 5,000 three-month visas for truck drivers starting in October, and another 5,500 for poultry workers which the visas are due to expire on Dec. 24.

7 Best Countries to Work as a Truck Driver.

1. Australia

The trucking business in Australia is blooming more than ever. Australian trucker's average salary can be as much as $70,000 (USD), and increases if goods are transferred from one state to another. If you opt to drive an interstate truck, your salary can rise to $100,000 (USD) annually.

2. Norway

Apart from the trucking profession, Norway offers the best job opportunities to all kinds of professions due to its stable economic system. Truck drivers work five days a week and no more than 7.5 hours a day, and a trucker's average annual salary is $58,000 (USD). However, if truckers are willing to work additional hours, they can earn up to $90,000 (USD) annually.

3. The USA

The American economy depends largely on the transportation of goods and services, so truck drivers' demand increases regularly. The strong trucking industry in the US is expected to grow significantly in the upcoming years, so they need truckers. The average salary of truckers in the United States is around $53,000. The best part about becoming a professional trucker is you can start early and don't need a college degree to step into the professional world.

4. Canada

One of the world's most inclusive and diverse countries, Canada is a hot spot for business start-ups and the trucking industry. When it comes to trucking, truck drivers are paid handsomely. The average annual salary of a truck driver is $56,000 (USD), whereas if you opt to be a local pick-up and delivery trucker, you are all set to make nearly $40,000 (USD) in a year. Your salary in Canada also depends on your trucking experience. If you become a long-haul trucker, your annual income can reach $100,000 (USD).

5. Switzerland

Switzerland isn't only one of the most beautiful countries globally, but it also happens to be one of the highest-paying countries for truckers. As a foreigner working in Switzerland, you can earn an average income of $64,000 (USD). However, depending on your experience, work hours, and vehicle type, you can also earn up to $90,000 (USD), but the distance travelled plays a crucial role in determining the income.

6. Sweden

The average annual salary of a trucker in Sweden can be up to $33,000 (USD), and Sweden hosts two of the biggest truck manufacturing companies on the globe. Because the trucking scene is quite high, truckers are surely the country's asset.

7. Netherlands

Netherlands is one of the richest countries globally and is number 17 in the list of the world's biggest economies. If you are a truck driver, you will find many work opportunities in this country, and can expect an average annual salary to be slightly above $40,000 (USD).
