CHOOSING A TRAILER FOR YOUR TRUCK

Hello readers, as we go along in teach ourselves the requirements of haualge business, we shall discussing trailer sizes. we have two different types of trailer sizes. The 20 feet and 40 feet. Under the two categories we have the spring type and the ballon type.
Because our focus is strictly on Nigeria and her roads, i require to get the spring type. The spring type deals with our strong the axles of the trailer is. Please note that the stronger or heavy your trailer is the better for  your tyres. You will not want a situation where the tonnage of the container your truck is carrying is resting on your tyres. Therefore the requirement of the tonnage of your trailers must be from 30 and above(30 tonnes &above).The trailer is a very very factor and very technical in haulage business.
The 20ft sizes gets more jobs than the 40ft but less pay in terms of freight rates while the 40ft size gets less jobs but high freight rates. Technically, i have found out that the maintenance costs of the 40ft size trailers is higher than 20ft size due to the following reasons
1. The 40 ft size trailers has many tyres; which means you are prone to buying tyres very well.

2.Axle pots will require more oil fluids for 40ft than 20ft.   
However, whichever you buy , you will make money. it is a matter of experience.
There will be more jobs for 20ft sizes soon because Lagos State is proposing a law that will not allow 40ft size trailers to carry  2x20ft containers anymore.
Once you can venture into this business, you will ask youself why you have not ventured into it a long time ago.
FORTUNES FAVORS THE BRAVE.
