You can make VERY GOOD income driving all types of trucks. You do not need any underhand or wayo. You do not need to sell people’s diesel or diesel in any form to get good payment. Tanker drivers are huge risk takers and they earn VERY HANDSOMELY. Drivers are able to build mansions and drive jeeps of their choices. You can enrol to learn truck driving and you will not regret it.

Note that in Nigeria drivers are VERY WELL paid, either when driving for companies or for single truck owners, who do not have registered companies yet. The same goes for truck drivers in the whole of Africa. The same with other continents. But you see, truck drivers earn more heavily in the USA, Canada, Italy, Spain, UK, Australia, Germany, New Zealand etc. Their currencies make Nigerians who work there have a little advantage over those in Nigeria.

Learn truck driving and you will not regret it.

Softmirror:
The solution is for him to start employing graduates as drivers. A minimum of MSC. While he specifically trains them.

PulaPower:
Truck drivers are always rich..

USA truck drivers are mega rich..

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

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.

TopSchoolBozz:
This is the foolish thought of Nigerian Graduate- ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY. Even driver job, they should employ them and train them. I swear, our graduate just want to sit on people's head because they are graduates.

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

nnamdi640:
Nigeria graduate don suffer, everyone will just use them as comparison when it comes to payment of wages

Bahamas95:
Truck driving school in Nigeria? Never heard of it before.


From what I have heard and seen truck drivers learnt how to drive while doing motor boy for their oga, and the cycle continues.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Return loads are usually cheaper. So obviously, that load would be priced next to nothing.

Or you think the tomato seller paid 200k for it? Joker.

E say na runs.....How much do you think the 50 baskets of Tomatoes will cost?

Tanker drivers have no runs. Once you discharge, run back and load again, so you can make your money.

I hope you come back with pepper baskets and pure water as "Runs"... Comedian [/color]

Vinnie2000:
Graduates don SUFFER for Nigeria Sha.

One day, a Billionaire will claim his security guards Manning his Gate, earn more than University lecturers.

Making MOCKERY of education!

I have a friend that controls some of these driver, many of them are thieves, they are greedy.... They try different means to use the truck to make money on the side without the knowledge of their employer.... It's not about how they look sef

Kingpele:
If u collect 280k for driving truck, if u can discipline yourself, you will be serving 100k every month, if u are not married

How much does a NNPCL driver earn as regilar salary?

Arlee:
Oga,it is not a NNPC, it is,rather,an NNPC

izzou:
[color=royalblue]So, the dynamics of Nigeria is different. Apart from the big structured companies, many private individuals hardly pay well, and that's why Dangote is roasting NUPENG.

Abroad, you are paid per distance. Also, time wasted during drop off or pick up is taken into consideration. You can estimate how long you can get to your destination. It's pretty straightforward

Here, you can leave Lagos today, and reach Abuja in 5 days, instead of 3. Also, depending on your network, you can stay days before getting a call to haul. These are factors here.

The people who enjoy the most are those who own their trucks.[/color]
