THE EXCHANGE RATE IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO BUY TRUCKS THESE DAYS. LATEST STATICS SHOWS THAT MAN DIESEL TRUCKS ARE THE CHEAPEST THESE DAYS. THEY ARE ALSO RUGGED ARE GOOD. ITS LIFE SPAN IS UP TO 4 YRS ON THE NIGERIAN ROADS. IT WILL MAKE THE SAME MONEY A MACK OR DAF TRUCK CAN MAKE.

Registered used, men, i dont like going near them at all especially when i dont know the history of the car or truck.

this matter is so simple. we are bad at home and we are bad outside especially when the world has turned to a global village.

my port experience spanning over six years agree with grimaldi.

IF U NEED SOMEONE'S HELP, YOU GO TO MEET HIM IN HIS HOUSE OR OFFICE. OTEDOLA DIDN'T GO TO MEET FAROUK, FAROUK WENT TO MEET OTEDOLA. MUMU HAUSA MAN WEY WAN CHOP MEAT COME START TO DEY CALL COW AS BROTHER COW.

ONE GOOD REASON WHY YOU NEED A DOUBLE AXLE TRUCK IS BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE GOODS. TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, A TRUCK SHOULD WEIGHT UP FROM 30 TONNES UPWARD IF YOU ARE GOING INTO TIPPER OR CONTAINER HAULAGE. MORE SO THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE GOODS THAT WE IMPORT WEIGHS FROM 25 TONNES UPWARD. MY EXPERIENCE OVER THW YEARS REVEALS THAT A 20FT CONTAINER MOST TIMES WEIGH FROM 27 TONNES UPWARD. IMAGINE THAT KIND OF WEIGHT ON A SINGLE AXLE TRUCK, PERHAPS YOU MAYBE CARRYING 2*20FT CONTAINERS ON A SINGLE AXLE TRUCK. DON'T YOU THINK YOU ARE PUSHING YOURSELF OUT OF BUSINESS GRADUALLY BECAUSE YOU WILL BUY TYRES AND SWEAT OUT. THAT IS WHY MOST TRUCK WITH A 20FT CONTAINER FLATBED STAY LONGER IN BUSINESS THAN TRUCK OWNERS WITH 40FT FLATBED.
YOU CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING IF YOU HAVE EVER OBSERVED THE OFFLOADING OF A CONTAINER. THE DOUBLE AXLE TRUCKS GIVE THE DRIVER A BETTER TOWING, BALANCING OF THE TRUCK. IF ONE OF THE TYRES BURST, THE OTHER TYRE WILL COMPLETE THE WORK AS LONG AS IT IS WITHIN LAGOS SUBURBS.

I HOPE THIS DANA AIR CRASH WONT SCARE A LOT OF THE DIASPORIANS AWAY FROM HOME.

THIS IS THE BEST NIGERIAN FORUM IN NIGERIAN. TAKE OR LEAVE IT.

HAULAGE BUSINESS IN NIGERIA DEMANDS DOUBLE AXLE TRUCKS. DONT BUY SINGLE AXLE TRUCKS. I BEG U. MOST SINGLE AXLE TRUCKS IN THE MARKET DECAY BEFOR THEY GET BUYERS FOR THEM, EVENTUALLY. UNLESS U ARE A NOVICE, THAT IS WHEN U WILL BUY A SINGLE AXLE TRUCK AT THE PRICE OF A DOUBLE AXLE TRUCK.
BE IT TIPPER,CONTAINER TRUCK,BOX TRUCK.PLS REMEMBER DOUBLE AXLE TRUCKS. YOU WILL GET TO KNOW WHY TOMORROW.

TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS IN NIGERIA IS SUB DIVIDED AS FOLLOWS
1. OIL AND GAS.
2. MANUFACTURING/PRODUCTION
3. SHIPPING/PORT OPERATIONS
4. MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE.
WHICHEVER YOU INVEST IN IT WILL BRING GOOD RETURNS, ONLY THAT MANAGEMENT IS THE PROBLEM. YOU HAVE TO DO YOU RESEARCH AND FINDINGS VERY WELL. THIS STARTS FROM THE TYPE OF CAR,BUS OR TRUCK NEEDED BEFORE RETURNS AND THEREAFTER THE MANAGEMENT AND CONTRACTUAL NEGOTIATION.

TO ANYONE WHO CARES.
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haulagemover@gmail.com

HAVE YOU HEARD TERMS LIKE DOUBLE AXLE, SINGLE AXLE, MANUAL ENGINE, ELECTRIC ENGINE(BRAIN-BOX). DO YOU KNOW PRECISELY MODEL OF THE TRUCKS.
AFTER ALL THESE, YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE FLATBED LIKE SPRING AND BALLOON SUSPENSION.
WELL LETS NOT MAKE A BROUHAHA ABOUT THE ISSUE, SIMPLY GET A MACK TRUCK OR DAF.

THE QUESTION IS A TECHNICAL ONE. MACK AND DAF TRUCKS ARE THE COMMON ONES IN NIGERIA. THIS IS BECAUSE THE ARE RUGGED AND THEIR PARTS ARE EASILY LOCATED. AN AVERAGE TRUCK TECHNICIAN CAN SPOT THEIR TECHICAL ISSUES, THOUGH WE HAVE SPECIALISTS AS WELL.
YOUR LOCATION AT THE MOMENT DETERMINE THE TYPE YOU CAN EASILY FIND AMONG THE TWO. IF YOU ARE IN AMERICA, MACK TRUCKS ARE EASY LOCATED AND SPOTTED. IF YOU ARE IN EUROPE, DAF TRUCKS ARE EASILY SPOTTED AS WELL.
HOWEVER, I AM NOT SAYING THAT OTHER TRUCKS ARE NOT GOOD, I AM GIVING THE ADVISE BASED ON MY WORK EXPERIENCE IN THE PORTS AND AS A HAULAGERS. DO YOUR RESEARCH VERY WELL BEFORE YOU VENTURE INTO HAULAGE, AS SWEET AS THE BUSINESS IS, SO THE SWEAT. BUT FORTUNE HAS ALWAYS FAVOURED THE BRAVE ONES.
THERE ARE OTHER THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT KNOWING THE TYPE OF TRUCK TO BUY. INFACT YOU ASKED FOR THE CHEAP QUESTION IN HAULAGE.

THIS POST IS ACTUALLY A SOCIOLOGIGAL QUESTION.IF YOU MAKE AN APPRAISAL OF THE ISSUE, WHO WILL FIND OUT THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF THOSE THAT BUILT HOUSES IS HIGHER THAN THOSE WHO DIDN'T WHEN THEY WERE ALL LIVING IN ABROAD .BUT THE PERCENTAGE OF THOSE THAT LIVE IN THOSE HOUSES THEY BUILT IN THEIR NAMES ARE LOWER THAN THOSE WHO LIVE IN THEIR OWN.
DUE TO THE REASONS BELOW:
1.SECURITY
2.ECONOMIC FACTORS.
3.NOISE POLLUTION
4.TASTE IS NOT STATIC. WHAT YOU LIKE TODAY,YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE TOMORROW.ETC.

i think the best thing is to buy ready made flatbed.though it is possible to build a flatbed. i will recommend that for a transporter. transporters are the ones with an average of 8-10 trucks. they always enter into contract with major logistics companies or manufacturing firms etc. because of this, they have enough money to build flatbeds. they only company i know that build flatbed is IPL. their price is very high.but it is what i can longlasting flatbed.
if you have a chassis that you buy abroad,you can cover it with iron sheets,they vary in sizes and the local welder man can to that for you.
if you have just one truck, buying an imported flatbed is the best option. you can get that from 1.2 million upwards depending on it thickness. there is a lot to learn in the business. seek advise from experienced hands.

My,brother, if you can invest into haulage business. you will make the coolest money of your life. however, you have to understand that no matter the business you may decide, nothing comes easy. try and study books on entrepreneurship.

THOUGH THIS WOMAN IS SAYING THE TRUTH,YET SHE IS BEING ECONOMICAL WITH TRUTH. AND WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
75% OF OUR MONEY NA HIM THE 3 TIERS OF GOVT DEY SHARE. D CENTRAL BANK GOVERNOR SAID THIS,BUT WHEN HIS POSITION WAS SHAKEN, HE HAD TO JOIN THEM BY SUPPORTING THE SUBSIDY.

I hope we all remember that we spend so much importing foods into the country,not only food imports, we are talking about anything import. Nigeria's economy is based on importation. 98% of imports come through the seaports and i find no reason why you can cash out of this opportunity every year.
