The business fit give person hypertension especially when you tell your driver to be bringing money daily, these people(drivers) are heartless oo. na their own pockets dem go first hussle for before remembering the owner. if your driver start work since morning and he called you for like afternoon say car spoil, e fit b say na #500 him go give u since morning wey him don start work oo, him go don see his own. na u go fix car which means money no dey 4 dat day.

Chekitaut is a fraud, deal with him at your own risk.
It has been 7days I paid him N180,000 to deliver 30tons of granite and he hasn’t, telling all sort of lies. Better refund me or you won’t do business on nairaland anymore .

Review of The Income Analysis
Invest in Trucking

A dump truck is expected to go at least a trip(traffic) of dispatching Granite to Lagos from Ibadan, Abeokuta or from Ijebu, basically due to road work going on Lagos - Ibadan expressway.

Cost of Truck
Used =N14,000,000
New = N27,000,000

Insurance Comprehensive plan is 5-6% per annum

Hence:
*For Used @average of 5.5% = N770,000 + N14,000,000=N14,770,000

*For New @average of 5.5% = N1,485,000 + N27,000,000 =N28,485,000

Per trip for Used Truck, the truck is paid between N60,000 – N80,000

Running cost per trip is around N20,000 - N35,000(include Driver's wages & Daily Ticketing)

Projected profit per trip in average= N50,000

N50,000 per trip x 6trips per week N300,000 per week

N300,000 x 4 weeks = N1,200,000 per month
This is monthly income within Abeokuta - Lagos

Yearly income = N1,200,000 x12= N14,400,000

Less 35%
Depreciation/Maintenance = N5,040,000

Annual Net Income=N14,400,000 - N5,040,000 =N9,360,000

Input in same in New trucks, the only difference is 15% Depreciation/Maintenance.

it is expected that profit target for used truck after 2years while new is 3years. The maintenance culture will increse by 10% after this years.

Transportation business is a money spinner in Nigeria. It is always good to understand transportation business before venturing into it.
This is what a Lagos transporter said.

You have a point regarding the selfish drivers, it's always about them. Nevertheless, people are still in the business. My taxi was just two when this thread was created, today, it is five now and I bought them as tokunbo.
One just need to have time and be ready to be in charge. By the way, I think it's time for me to look into inter cities now. Intra city is becoming over saturated in my state with all these yahoo boys buying 10, 20 mini buses at a go!

Well, it's been challenging. Covid delayed me getting investment in my brt business in Abuja. But we are registered and doing other services. We will launch our flagship private mass transit business soon by God's grace.

Hi Alexious.

I saw a tread where you were asking for 11m to partner for transport biz. Why not start small and then build up from there. Though you seem to be good and sincere. Would have contacted if I have fund and live in Abuja.

This tread just reactivated my interest in transportation business especially inter-city. The last time I ventured to the business, intra-city in lagos, I got my fingers burnt. Hire purchase for that matter. I pampered my driver's but they still frustrated my effort. The two danfors were eventually sold off at a loss though with serious lessons learnt. If you are not on ground and always available, don't venture.

For hire purchase, ensure the driver drops nothing less than 20-30% of the total cost of vehicle before he starts. This will secure his commitment. People do not care whether they will own the vehicle at the end of the day. What the drivers are interested in, is to chop you dry starting from day one

What is the guarantee that you'll remit daily? And, does this everyday mean it is guaranteed that the truck will work daily?

Secondly, what is the guarantee that you'll maintain the truck properly since you're handling maintenance?

Can you explain the last statement? It's not clear to me.

in as much your truck is tracked, you monitor movement from your comfort zone,
It works you get paid.
Repairs is not our responsibility, monthly service is our duty.

Brand new truck has no reason to be idle because there is steady delivery for it.

Only working days get paid for.
Our catchment area are Ogun & Lagos.
