NO MATTER WHAT, if you are doing a regular job and living a regular life, you can't have that kind of money. The only way is if you do deals or something illegal.
Regular 9 to 5 job? No way!!

Obviously...
Even whites we met here... some can't even boast of $2,000 in dia savings account

You are a newbie in the industry and probably you’re taking left over load from the loadboards, the rate is low to you because you’re dealing with brokers.

Smh I work in the industry, tell that to someone else. Transportation is good as at its lowest right now. This has got nothing to do with newbie or veterans … unless you’re hacking the load board to exclusively pack all the loads.

You don’t know anything about transportation in US. Calm down and learn from me free of charge. You work in the Industry and I own a fleet, hauling hazmat, reefers, step deck and coast- coast. I move with Shippers and not loadboards . You don’t know anything when it comes to transportation. Ask me

Yea trucking and transportation is a big headache when you venture newly into it but with time you will learn, the regulations, insurance, compliance, drivers and again if you are starting with one truck, I will advise you to first get a CDL A, drive for a company and learn,

I am a Medical Doctor here in Nigeria. I am 40 years on the dot and I have been working for 10 years here in Nigeria.

How can you help me relocate? I can work and pay back all that you may spend outside my own funds I have saved here.

Everyone here is dependent on me and they all think I am rich because of the Doctor title. It's not so easy for me.

Kindly help me.. I have a daughter but I am still single.

Why don't you try Saudi route first... den after 2 years ypu move to America when you save enough...

I think that one maybe cheaper to process

The rate is down because you are dealing with brokers. Now let me tell you, I gross $5/mile doing Hazmat and $4/mile doing reefer, I owned 4 dry van, 4 reefer, 3 flatbed, 2 step deck. My drivers gross average 2499$/weekly. My company deals with direct shippers. You said you’re into transportation and what exactly do you do

I made a comment here that I gross $988k this 2022 and gross $750+k 2021 and have only been in the United States 3 years going to 4 years by June, someone said I’m lying and some other said no true. Now let me explain in details.

But this your story is possible in Nigeria too, or anywhere for that matter. That's why there are millionaires everywhere, and also poor people everywhere. It is not by being abroad. Someone else may do exactly what you did and go bankrupt!

Here is the real maths.
If have a $500k mortgage and put down 20% you owe $400k .but if put down 5%, you would owe $475k.
On a 5% interest and principal rate per annum of that $75k difference, you would have additional $625 on your monthly bill . Plus the$100 pmi . Total of about $725 addition to your monthly bill.
Bro, now tell what passive investment you did with that money that is generating $725 which in #543750 (naira). This is the additional amount you are giving bank every month.

Fixed! grin

Please, please do not blame the aspiring entrepreneur. If he is a good stockbroker, stock trader, day trader, options trader, real estate guru, exporter of used goods or specific items, in addition to lots of overtime work, or two or more jobs at his daily job and probably using computers so that he can have time to trade while at work, he can actually earn that money in no time. Some people are genius at what they do, and "KUDI" is their fantasy. Just because you cannot understand how they could come with that amount of money does not mean that it is impossible. The USA is still the land that flows with milk and honey. By the way, all of these possibilities do not have to involve yahoo or fraud. Sometimes, you have to be at the right place and at the right time. That is what it is for some people. The newer Nigerians in the US are so good at spotting opportunities in the USA, that may not be the same for the older ones who are still suffering from Chinua Achebe's "Things fall apart" and "No Longer at ease". Enjoy!

Look at people who are already in UK and ask yourself why they don't have £10m. If you are so special, there are also people who become millionaires in Nigeria, why aren't you one of them??

Because they can’t find drivers and not because there is no business. Trucks are just sitting while customers are looking for who to haul their goods.

The people who are into the business and taught me a lot, I guess they are angels not humans?

Stop living this your limited life where you believe what you do not know does not exist.

No wonder successful people hate interacting with the public or even bothering to teach them anything about what they do.
