Oga 3_6 months is too small for someone to drive truck except if it's just all these small small lorry. Driving for a long distance journey is all about how to drive.

Will u teach them how to handle tools in case of emergency...
Wat of strange sign while driving, that may not happen to ur truck within that short time interval.....
Wat of Minor electrical work that u will put him through on dashboard if there's any....
There are so many minor mechanical work that he will av to knw and some technique while driving up the hills,sloapy places and even check point.

If u are to teach someone how to drive, u need time for him not during that time frame. It's too small except if it's light goods for short distance journey.
Bro it's all about mindset, Lagos to jos to onitsha- Abuja then back to lag in two weeks and continue Lagos to Kano to Aba - ilorin then Lagos. You can make it in 3 if you have driving experience and you are the types that drive cars without fear, we have novice conductors that are doing well and driving empty trailers from kaduna to Lagos in 3 months and we still have Yahoo conductors that have been following trucks for 2 year's without knowing gear selector. So is all about mindset

Bro those are for trucks here in Nigeria.... Truck driving is more relaxed, better and lucrative abroad.... I have a friend driving truck living in the US.... He has bought his own house.

Truck driving in the US is blood money!

Possibly 200k USD and above without stress

Did you know that there is a shortage of truck drivers in USA, UK and Canada?
Did you know that you could easily get a visa to work in Canada as a truck driver?
Trust me, this is one of the easiest ways to relocate to canada

Overloading causes break failure and Nigerian truck drivers are found wanting for that

hello guys, I am Abdulkabir from Edo state, my journey into the world of trucks came about after a misfortune I faced, at one time I was a student in Uniben department of Animal science under Agricultural faculty, I left school without differing the admission to travel abroad, An Ill fated trip that got me touring the airport in Turkey waiting for my transit flight to Ukraine.

I later got deported from turkey for fake visa and all my attempts to reintegrate into school proved abortive. hence I was left with either retrying to gain admission or find a way to fend for myself, so having decided to learn a vocation, I was interested in learning computer programming but funds was not available so I had to learn something more cost effective, other handy works I could learn required a certain capital and I was dead broke as I had been abandoned by my father who was my sole sponsor.

so I had to look for a skill to learn, still be earning while learning and have a greater prospect of meeting up with living standards at its culmination.
Now I am a certified truck driver currently employed by Ardova plc.

DM me with your questions in anything related with trucks.

Ravenna:

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.

I quite aagreed with u, like me I drive a mistubishi fuso truck 6 tyres heavy duty trucks that carry breweries product. And we still have 45 tons truckdriver with us as well..

felixzo1:
why are truck breaks always failing, the case is common in cities, is it old age or lack of maintance. how safe are truck drivers from accidents



Baring the drivers carefulness or recklessness, it is mainly due to lack of maintenance.
If quality brake components are used not minding the cost, the brake will hardly fail. Even if it fails, it will not be absolute to the extent of causing damage except otherwise the driver is reckless
