I can only pity those that drive for you, you always come off like you are doing them good having them drive for you. The relationship is mutual, imagine saying 35k is what you can manage. Rubbish
This thread don cast, I see greedy partners popping up everywhere.
One thing they don't understand is that when you give your driver a hard target it's your car that will suffer for it. At the end they dump it and go for a better one.

Lol.


Some ladies are just cursed.

Side chick for 3yrs and when the main chick was sacked, another was employed instead of upgrading you.

It's not the guys fault.

He only discovered that you can only be at your best as a side chick. In other words, your destiny is to be a side chick for life.

You as a lady should also know what your destiny is and stay there to flourish.


Na this kind thing some contract staff dey face for so many coys.

Life no easy even for Mr. Eazi
No reasonable man will upgrade a LovePeddler to be his main chick. It's a normal game we play in the jungle.

sKeetz:
I'm dating an older woman. The difference in our ages is just 2 years. She is everything a man can ever dream of.

She's very supportive. Doesn't bother me and let's me do my thing. She doesn't boss me or anything of sorts. She's also very independent, but the only thing that stresses me out is our age difference and it's quite obvious cause i even look quite younger than my age and she's quite matured both physically and mentally.

Are there any cons to marrying a lady that is older? Guys who are married to older ladies, are there any traits i should look out for ?

Ps: we've been dating for 4 years now, so its not like i just met her. So i know everything about her and she knows everything about me.
You have nothing to fear my brother.
Inasmuch as your relationship is peaceful fire on.

100% correct.. It is lucrative and very challenging at the sametime.. Technology has made certain parts of the business easy ...

If handled very well ,which comes with experience, you can create good cash flow business and good passive income ...

Most investors get burnt when they have too many vehicles on the road that they can't handle. From experince I wouldn't want to have more than 5 cars on ehailing. Sometimes I am tempted to have more ,but fear dey catch ,can't over do myself o .. People that do interstate section of the business, my hats off to you ,you guys have the biggest balls ..me I no fit try am , the local route self na with 1 eye close I dey sleep at night.. Imagine state to state route , that means I no go sleep at nite be dat....
Dr. Dru, you really understand the system.
There's one element of transportation business I fear most, "it has a way of making one go hairwire"

Mr SWAT/SARS ANALYSIS you just complicate yourself.

SO if money is not ur major concern, why go into the business? So you were analyzing SWAT to go loose money.

From my own experience I agree with Carshopper if u don't have park forget, you will never succeed, maybe with HP u will survive a little.

I have 2 Sienna then, people who sees it when they come back from travel and bring me palm wine then will say, oboy you're doing well, not knowing i was loosing, while drivers are making cool money.

In business experience is the key to success.
They gave you what you were interested in nah, No be palm wine you want drink? They gave you till you drink and forget your money. Lolz.
My brother, transportation isn't for everyone.

grin grin grin ... This statement says it all... cheesy cheesy cheesy.... If you put ur vehicle under an umbrella company, you should know what they charge .... One seat goes to the park ...you pay management a "starting fee: compromises cartoon(s) of beer, malt and agreed sum" .... And u free to load from their park after registration.

Major concern is always ROI ...that is what determines your fail or success rate... Abi u wan put money inside business well grin

GodisGood previously was welcoming partners, drop sienna from 2011-2012 with them and get 350k monthly returns.... They stopped that and changed it brand new Hiace (for a reason)

Having a terminal boosts ur control over wear n tear on the vehicles. ...


I don't strongly disagree with you... I just adviced on one key to successful interstate transport business, follow your money investment from start to finish ... cool
You're right sir, now you're talking.
GIGM hasn't stopped ooo, if you have an insider you can still enroll, though not 350 again.
That company is going south-side gradually, that boy ventured into the wrong side of politics with huge amount he borrowed from bank, his sponsored candidate failed the election.

[1] .....most interstate transport especially those that make use of Toyota Sienna are just surviving by the thread...

[2]......If you don't own a car park around jibowu, iyana ipaja, ojota, ajah, ojulegba etc.. please don't throw money into interstate grin

[3] ......Till you are able to sit at each major car parks from 5am till 9am and monitor flow of passenger and money ...then bring your swot analysis...
[1] I strongly disagree with you on this, that isn't true. Though I don't know the companies you're referring to.

[2] You don't have to own a terminal before you can succeed in interstate transportation business sir. To be sincere, opening a terminal as a new transport company is a grave mistake. You have to start under another umbrella organization, you learn from them before. Yes, you'll lose money because they'll charge you for loading in their facilities in addition to their passengers. By the way, what kinda terminal did you register your vehicles with? Which transport company? If it was the general motor park that's a mistake, the remaining ones will soon vanish.

[3] From your analysis, your major concern is MONEY, with such mindset sir, failure is highly assured. Starting a transportation business is like a new born baby, it takes time to grow. You have to endure and nurture it. You'll loose a lot in the process, it's not a business for the feeble minded.

The operation cost of a Toyota Sienna far outweighs that of a Toyota haice bus, [1:2 ratio] yet bus carries more passengers and burn less fuel, why do we still have Sienna's on the road?

I'm not writing some kinda theory, I'm writing out of a successful experience. As a matter of fact, in few months of operations I'm seeing green light already. A good business model will give you good returns. When I was about starting, due to the high cost of haice, I had series of recommendations from people, some recommended Sienna, some Odyssey while some suggested Hyundai H1, I opened a thread and people advised me on what to do. I add that to my research and experience, I settled with Sienna and H1 [they serve different purposes]. The company I registered my vehicles required a comprehensive insurance, zenith gave me a good option with tracker inclusive, in addition to the already installed tracker by the transport company.

One more thing, the more technology you invest in your transportation business, the more crime you curtail. You don't need to follow up a driver to know if he has load or not. The cars are supervised by the transport company you register them with. Then with tracker in that car you will know whenever the driver is on a trip. You can even call the tracker and it will pick the call then you listen to their conversations in/around the vehicle. Many things are lacking in your write up sir.

In addition, what kinda drivers did you hand over you hard earned money (vehicles) to? How educated are they? How knowledgeable are they in auto-repairs? Can they diagnose the car and spot the fault before those destroyers (Kazeem) arrived?

Don't give your drivers hard target (your car will suffer), don't harass them, they're heartless due to the danger they see everyday on their line of duty, you can't intimidate them, they're like farmiliar spirits (lolz).

Rendering SWOT irrelevant is a sign of failure, that's the greatest ingredient of any business plan/model.

My one cent.

Carshopper:
The "keys to success" isn't the route you put ur sienna to work ... This is from experience not research
You don't call that experience sir, that's failure, as a result of inability to plan ahead.
Lots of Nigerians go into business just because they hear its profitable, without proper feasibility study. They are carried by the returns.


- If Sienna isn't profitable why do we still have thousands out there on the road?
- Why did I conduct the research?
I have many questions for you to proof your claims, but it's needless.

Just like the ehauling business, lots of fleet companies are off the radar, but that same business, there is someone that's making in it with many cars because he has deep understanding of the business.

Until you have a unique SWOT analysis, don't venture into that business.

See them vampires,

One of them post about sienna to Ghana, how lucarative, i gave out my 2nd sienna, spending almost 150k in Registration.

My broda after 2months, i run 4 my life.

I end up selling those sienna

The interstate for 990k,

The ghana route for 1.1

landing cost 4 both 2.1m

Pls run 4 ur life.
jpworld:
I import sienna 4 sale and one driver canvass me into putting it for interstate for 40k weekly.

I decide to give it a try, within 3months of doing the business i regret my decision.

40k weekly 4 sienna sound so good, when u calculate it weekly to one year.

but the repairs will frustrate u, brake pad will be change every 2 weeks, oil every 2 weeks, tie rod, ball joints, tires u will have to keep changing, and u wont be able to save from the 40k
You shouldn't venture into what you have no knowledge off, you were carried by the remittance.
Every business has its own "keys to success". You must look for it if you want to succeed in that biz.

Transportation is very lucrative, but you must choose your route wisely. Some intestate road are best driven with molue, definitely your baby Sienna will collapse.

According to personal research, Jibowo - PH is one of the best route for Sienna.

Which route were you?
