WHY YOU NEED A DOUBLE AXLE TRUCK FOR YOUR HAULAGE BUSINESS

Hello readers,
Today,i want to revisit thie issue of buying a truck for your haulage business. This time around, we shall enlighten ourselves about a particular specification which i term as double axle. Double axle trucks are also termed as tandem axle trucks. Some people will say trucks are trucks.I want to come out today today to say not all trucks are trucks because not all trucks are trucks in Nigeria. This is simple to say that not all trucks are made for the Nigerian Roads in terms of maintanance, driving expertise and durability.
Yet some people will say " you said i should buy DAF truck, you said i should buy MACK trucks, which one is SINGLE AXLE or which one is DOUBLE AXLE again". (which kind wahala be this)that means what kind of problem is this.
But listen to me, if you are planning to buy a truck for your haulage business today, a long as the truck is meant for Tipper Business or Container Haulage business. Please simply go for DOUBLE AXLE TRUCKS.
DOUBLE AXLE TRUCKS  tow better and help to keep the driver in control on the road. Technically speaking, a truck must weigh up to 30 tonnes before it can start a tipper or container haulage business in Nigeria. This is because the stuffing of these containers most times weigh more than the truck. I doubt if you have seen a 20ft container weighing more than 30 tonnes. Yes i have seen it more than a thousand times. People wonder why the 20ft weighs more than a 40ft container, It is simple. These is a lot of space in the 40ft container. by the time your goods are put in the 40ft container, there seems to be space left at the top .But for the 20ft, it is stuffed from the beginning to the end.Hardly will you be able to climb into the container when the offloading of the goods start. If you are using the single axle truck, i bet you that your tires will keep bursting all the time. Tyres are the most expensive of all the trucks spare parts that i know. If you don't save for the rainy day in haulage, it will come back to hunt you seriously.
When i print out the delievry order for truck drivers in the Ports, you will see a 20ft conatiner weighing up to 33 tonnes. what do you make out of that when you have a truck that doesnt weigh more that 30 tonnes. These are some of the technical experise i have learnt over the years. Now let me tell you that i have not see a 40ft container weighing more than 30 tonnes. Whenever, i go to the examination ground where CUSTOMS OFFICIALS use to inspect the imported goods, you will see the reasons why there can never be a 100% inspection of goods in our Ports today. It is all because the containers are stuffed from the edge of the boxes to the end,especially the 20ft containers.
Keep in mind that you should get a truck weight from 30 tonnes upward and remeber that it should be DOUBLE AXLES. The DOUBLE AXLE trucks have many tyres that helps the balancing of the trucks no matter the weight of the container.
Infact, what do you say about the tipper haulage which is even worse. We cannot even ascertain the weight opf the sand or the stones. But tobe on the safer side. Please look out for DOUBLE AXLE TRUCKS.

I will attach pictures of double axle trucks and single axle. please note that the double axle trucks have more tyres to help the balancing and also helps to support the  the truck
