Even 30 tons trailer most deliver 25 tons
That’s how they see profit

Most quarry don’t sell 30 tonne. Max, they sell 25 but a lot buyers don’t know.

Thats how they scaaam or that’s how they see profit 😁.

That’s why it’s good to always go there and find out from quarry sellers to know how they sell and make sure you monitor what you are buying.
I can’t imagine loosing like 80k per trip to truck owner/project handler after the truck owner/project handler has collected money for logistics.

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know the exact tonnage of the attached man diesel tipping truck or cubic meter of sharp sand it can hold.

Talking from hands on experience,

For granite, it can only carry 10 tonnes but u need to be vigilant as they might supply less than 10 tonnes for u.

But for sharp sand, hmm, it's deep oo because there is no measuring scale at the dredging site so therefore no accuracy in measuring of sharp sand. What they use is the bucket.

A bucket of wheeloader is 5tonnes. So this type of truck can also carry 2 buckets.

Lowest price you can buy cement now is 6,500
It’s sold between 6,500 to 8,000 in different locations

This is false. Don't mislead people here. Quarry sell any number of ton an individual/company wants to buy. Except you're mistaken quarry loaders (Community agents in the quarry plants) for quarry plant owners.

I am not misleading anybody, bro. That’s why I said most quarry. I have gone round and I can confirm this to you. It is you that want to fleece people.
Go to KoPEc, go to RCC, or this one at Obaagun in Osogbo, they don’t sell more than 25 tonnes.
Mention your own quarry where they sell more than 25 tonnes. Let us benefit from your wealth of knowledge.

Even task force won’t allow it to go on the road because it will be spilling over, except if you carry it in the evening or in the night.

Maybe it's you that don't know much about Chippings Haulage. Trucks that run Julius Berger Haulage and other construction companies carry 30 tons and above from saturn and other quarry in Akamkpa, and You can't even bid for the Haulage job if you don't carry high tonnage....
For companies that allow high tonnage of 30 tons and above:
Saturn and mark sino in Akamkpa.
Old China and other quarry plants in Amasiri and Ishiagu.
Even those quarries along Benin-Ore Road.

I got 25 bags of cement this morning in Lugbe Abuja for 200k. God knows if I had waited till now to start my house project, I wouldn't dare start that project. And to think I bought same cement for 4500 first week of december to finish my block work. It is really terrible and nothing is being done about this horrible situation.

Please someone should educate me pls, why on earth should price of cement double in a space of one month? Is this from the original manufacturers or the distributors?

I guess there is misalignment somewhere. I am talking of small unit holders at western quarries. They hardly sell 30 tonnes at a time. That’s what I mean. I don’t say they don’t sell up to 30 tonnes to buyers.
But our truckers collect money for 30 tonnes at a time.

That’s 8k per bag 😳. It’s cost of diesel and petrol that caused the high price. You know this two products ‘ prices have multiplier effects on everything in Nigeria.

I may find some old invoice from 20 years ago...

We lost that contract when drivers started cutting 10-20 or more headpans of stones and use water to make the weight..I have shared this story once before...

A third time returning nairalander gave me permission to post a short video of the ready mixed screeding putty (basecoat).
A very satisfied client.
Rest assured the paint would be applied on a stable surface and weather condition can't affect it while unpainted.

I made a quotation in the morning and the client said he will pay by evening. That afternoon, there was 1k increase in the cost of one of the materials. Calculate the quantity I need. So how do you discuss it with the client without sounding stupid and ignorant of your trade.

I just swallowed the losses from my end and took up the job

The bolded is a serious case! some clients are so kind to understand your predicament, you can't blame others (client) who feel it doesn't make sense, it's really annoying. The vendors are the greedy ones, a stock he bought for ₦50 per unit after calculating all expenses (Transportation cost etc) he decided to sell the stock to gain profit for ₦150 per unit, you go to this vendor to buy for ₦150 on Monday, the vendor will tell you that if you come the next day, he'd sell the same stock for ₦200 because market price has increased, the same stock he bought for ₦50 ooh.

Pure Greed!!!

Not greed. It is called replacement costing strategy.
If a seller determines prices based of cost of purchase alone, such seller will be out of business in no time. It means, proceeds from sales will not be adequate to restock same item.
We are actually in an uncertain period as a country and everyone is trying to survive.
Again, it is not greed.

The situation on ground.. seems like economic sabotage Promax. I thought it was bad during GEJs tenure.. Buhari's government was worse and Tinubu's government goes hold my beer.

For lack of better word.. it is like a hopeless situation.. and almost irredeemable...( but I do hope and pray for a miracle for it to be redeemed)

It's makes me sad to see how things are bad for the common man.

Like we all are discussing building construction here.. now let's say someone managed to raise $63k to build a house in this current clime.. now where you go see legitimate tenants that would rent the place?

How many people can comfortably afford the high rent at this time, even yahoo boys sef... if you allow them in your property and stomach their wahala.. when there rent expires.. it is usually war for them to pay.

In January 2015, before Buhari's election, A man said and I quote "Nigeria is at that stage, where a preceding government would 10x outperform it successors, especially in economical situations of the country"


I think it is high time, the government needs to implement price control.

The current economic crisis is more than Promax, it is promax⁹ x9

Dollar exchange rate has done more harm than Good. Due to the expansion in business, we have now been able to add another arsenal; PDTHR-300 to amour collections, we received the machine this morning and it would be undergoing the necessary branding and configurations to get it prepared for the tasks ahead. We have a total of 4 drill rigs, working across the federation.
We're attending to the backlogs, and we would be concluding all old contracts by Sunday.
