Nothing new in that, driving is also a profession, it only in Nigeria most people look down on them, Europe 🇪🇺 most drivers earn more than some bank managers, I'm talking about their salaries, I'm not talking about stolen money...

[color=royalblue]You cannot make money driving a tanker, except you sell Diesel.

Tanker drivers make their money from allowances and a good salary.[/color]

When they earn well, why are they not responsible on the wheel ?
Of all haulage companies and truck drivers, they are so reckless and the major cause of accidents on our roads.
They should be given regular training and orientation.
Safety at all times .
FRSC , ought to have been involved by positioning some of its officers to be going round major companies with high volume of haulage trucks to be giving them serious trainings and revalidate their driving skills from time to time.

Julius Berger has more heavy duty trucks than Dangote but they rarely have fatal accidents because their drivers are well trained and are barred from sniffing hard drugs or picking people when driving.
Their trucks also have speed limiter installed on them and are tracked from the office. The caution lights on the truck are always kept in good shape.

Dangote drivers are reckless and over worked. Many of them take hard drugs so they won't fall asleep and meet quotas given to them. Sometimes the tyre of the truck is not complete and they abuse the tonnage of the truck by carrying extra loads and passengers on the road.

Some of their drivers don't understand or speak English Language and I wonder how they read traffic instructions on the highway written in English Language.

is this man saying that he pays his drivers more than he pays the graduates working for him?

izzou:
[color=royalblue] There's no how e dey go. Rest with una agenda

A tanker carrying fuel can only carry fuel. Nothing more. After delivering the product, he runs back empty.

They only make money by either selling the product illegally.

Other trucks like flatbeds or Containers can make money. A tanker cannot.

Don't come online and lie, because here is faceless.[/color]

Nigeria graduates not dangote graduates

[color=royalblue]You are still talking out of your imaginations.

A tanker body is designed to carry only the liquid product. It cannot carry anything else. There's a reason Dangote is telling you his Tanker drivers earns more than NUPENG. He obviously won't say the same for his Cement truck drivers. A tanker cannot make money like the other trucks, because it's trailer body is designed for only it's product.

No need to ask you nicely, because you have nothing to say. [/color]

Dangote owns the biggest truck driving school in the country. FRSC is the regulatory agency for driving school 🤷🏿

Hahahahaha......I've never seen anyone bask in ignorance so boldly and provdly
......weda it's tanker for fuel or other flatbeds..all can load contrabands...

Tanker drivers load tens of tomatoes basket and other goods in basket, on fuel/diesel tanker...and it's easy because basket are easily tied togeda preventing them from falling

..... Once a driver tells u his truck broke down and it's taking more than 6 hrs his usual time to arrive....just know he has diverted the truck to another route to go pick up contraband

.....that's where fleet manager comes into the runs ... to back up his story that truck broke down....... He will even raise invoice for repairs and parts he ddnt change.....

..Baba..u nor know how e dey go for street........... U are obviously not in fleet management because both managers and drivers and in the runs togeda
