Today, I have decided to write about trucks. I have received
a lot of private mails and calls as regards to the kind and model of trucks
that are needed for this business especially in Nigeria. I will be specific as
regards to the type of truck needed.
The trusted and the confirmed kind of trucks for starters
are DAF trucks and MACK trucks. These two trucks are preferred above others
because of their rugged and availability of their parts in Nigeria. An Average mechanic
or technician is able to repair these trucks and find their parts easily. I am not
saying that these are the best trucks in town. The statistics of the usage of these
two trucks is very much higher than other trucks in Nigeria. My hand-on experience
in the business loves MACK trucks. I have had success in this business because
I know a lot about MACK trucks.
Once you are able to sight these two types of trucks, you
have to consider the engine. In Nigeria, we have the Tokunbo (referred to as
GRADE A) while we have the Nigerian fairly used. Let me briefly explain below:
Tokunbo GRADE A: These types of trucks have been used fairly
in America or Europe by their first buyers. It was initially bought new and
used overtime before shipping down to Nigeria. The mileage makes no sense
really because we know that the roads in America and Europe are beautiful. They
lack pot-holes. Therefore, most times it can be put on the road immediately.
Nigerian Fairly used: This type of truck has been used in
Nigeria overtime and the buyer or user needs to sell it to another Nigerian because
of one thing or the other. I don’t usually recommend this because of one
reason. The reason is because you cannot trace the history of the truck
especially because it has been used on Nigerian Roads.
Your choice of truck between these two trucks must be
between 33 tonnes and above. Look for a truck
with double axle. Never to worry, I have include pictures of these trucks.
For MACK Trucks: Recommended is Model
R685st and CH613
For DAF trucks: Xp75 and above.
Your Success is ensured if you can venture into this business. Consistency is the key to long-lasting success.
