This is not your typical truck thread where you are enticed to buy trucks and sit back while you watch your investment grow… NO. This thread is to give you the most inner shrouded details about truck haulage. If you are not a patient investor do not go beyond this paragraph. As a matter of fact transport business is the 3rd most lucrative business in Nigeria after oil and ICT. There are over 180m Nigerians that need to move from one point to another or carry goods. Whether you live in the rural arrears or in the city you must make use of transport. So the question I know you must have in mind now is why is the business so difficult for an investor to make any meaningful returns from? The answer is simple: GREED and IGNORANCE, greed on the part of the managers as they want to reap more than necessary and this comes about because the investor himself does not know much about the business which is where ignorance comes in. Are you looking for a business to invest your money that guarantee and protects your capital? Are you looking for an investment that does not require your time or presence and gives you both monthly and yearly returns up to 60%? I am not here to sell manual or e-book. I want to share this knowledge and idea to all nairalanders and guests. This will help you know what is going on with your investment and from experience, truck managers and drivers always respect investors who know much about the business. They will be careful to give failure excuses or dupe you. This is what I do. I am a transport enthusiast and manager… Stay tuned...

With the current deregulation of AGO, prices have been stable and this does not reflect on the rent charged by trucks. The charge rate goes up every now and then. I will give complete breakdown of both long and short haulage trucks so you can determine which is cool for you. Before you buy that truck first know the type of truck suitable for the particular route or business you intend to go into. Don’t buy the truck first before taking decision. This is the first mistake most investors do. Preferable long haulage trucks in the south west included but not limited to DAF 9xx series, Mack, Ford, freightliner . Short route trucks include but not limited to Iveco series, Volvo, tata and various Chinese single and double axel trucks. Don’t be deceived if they tell you that any kind of truck can be used for long haulage. This is true but not in Nigeria where truck is subjected to harsh road conditions. 8 Likes 1 Share |

so let's continue.. Now the financials: I will start with the dump truck category (tipping trucks) used to carry stones and sand(ogun-lagos axis). The model most desirable is IVECO-190/36 brand. Truck cost: 6.2m(normal tractor) and 8.5 for 8 tires Bucket body: 4m Tires: 4pcs at 90,000 each which is 360,000 Papers and miscellaneous: 150,000 Now there are 2 periods during the year for dump trucks in the real estate industry, the dry and wet seasons. During the wet season, trucks don’t do many jobs because of the terrain especially new sites and this affects the monthly returns. Dry season is the peak period for haulage trucks and returns are significant. I will give a detailed breakdown. For every inter-state trip the truck does, your return is 20,000 and this is your profit, all expenses and wages have been deducted. Some good days truck do 2 jobs so this translates to 40,000 per day. The beauty of this industry is that construction activity happens every day so there is need to move stones and sand. The solution to know whether your truck went for a job or not is to install trackers. With the improvement in technology it is now possible to install tamper proof trackers which you can monitor either on your mobile phones, tablets or PC. If you are not available to manage your truck yourself you MUST install movement and weight trackers. this will give you rest of mind and further grip of things going on Pls feel free to ask questions as I continue.. 3 Likes

20,000 naira per trip X 6……120,000 weekly and 480,000 monthly 6 trips is the worst case scenario in a week during the peak period. Most weeks end with 7 or 8 trips but for the sake of not sounding too good to be true, I limited it to 6 trips in this article. Do not forget that it is easier for you to know the movement of your truck through trackers. I know some folks will say it is not as easy as the Op just painted it, I am sorry to break your heart, it is 100% so. To safe guard your investments sign an agreement with whoever wants to handle your truck. Do not, I repeat do leave your truck without signing a tenable agreement detailing the operations of the truck and the liabilities. The best agreement is the one whereby you are not involved in the daily maintenance or repair of the truck. All truck maintenance and daily running are handled by your management company whom you contract the truck to. This agreement type give you rest of mind as you are not bothered by stories of delays or breakdown. The only thing you hear monthly is bank alert. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Fg is not ready to invest in rail for haulage transport, so trucks are still the main deal right now. Take advantage of the opportunity and take charge 1 Like |

Assuming my driver delivers goods from Lagos to Abuja. On his way back he picks load to Lagos and he doesn't remit the proceeds to me because he knows that there is no way I will know he carried load. Is there a way I can know, e.g mounting camera? |

Ogazyduby: That's one major way owners lose in truck haulage. Curb this by installing latest car trackers, this monitors speed and weight. Cost less than 70k 3 Likes |
