Looking For Advice On Purchasing A Mini Truck For A One-man Haulage Business by matt4good: 7:38pm On May 20, 2022 |
Moderator please post this on front page, so that I can get widest feedback. Hello Nairalanders, Hope you all are doing well. I am not new here, but just opening a new account to ask this question. I am 25 yrs old male and living in the South East of Nigeria. Finished OND, and had been doing nothing. My Uncle yesterday called me and asked me if I could go into a haulage business - something like buying a mini truck, like toyota dyna truck and using it for delivering goods to people, something like a small haulage business. I spoke to one of my friends who drives Uber in Lagos - he told me it's a good idea; that I could buy a toyota dyna and then deliver goods to people. He also suggested that I could attach myself to a building materials market - after Customers buy their goods, I could charge them based on the quantity of goods and the delivery distance. He also said it will be better to get a direct tokumbo, mini truck not yet driven in Nigeria. Maybe double tires at the back. That probably we could get it in Lagos. I hope I can get one in Lagos and then take it down to South East for Business. My brothers and sisters - it's my uncle wanting to help me, so I have some questions: (1) Where could one get a good toyota dyna truck in a good condition, not yet driven in Nigerian roads, in Lagos? It is not new but has to be in a good condition. Ideally double tires at the back. (2) Someone suggested Ladipoja in Lagos. How can I get it at Ladipoja considering that I don't know anyone there? (3) What is the price range of such a truck in Lagos - second hand in a good condition, not yet driven in Nigeria. (4) I heard some use diesel, some use petrol. Which one is better? (5) What are the steps one can use to ensure that one buys a truck in a very good condition? How do I select a mechanic that will inspect and certify the truck before payment? (6) What should the mechanic be looking for? Only the Engine? How can I ensure tha the mechanic is telling me the truth? (7) What paperwork should I process after payment before taking the truck to South East? (cool I am a newbie, so I may not have asked all relevant questions. So any tips would be highly appreciated. I hope someone can help you too. I hope my Uncle's promise will come to fruition. Moderator please post this on front page, so that I can get widest feedback. Kind regards. |
