I am really excited to be back after 2 months of absense on my blog. It has been a busy period since October last year. I really didnt want to miss the ride(lot of jobs) and it was a time when you have to be smart with drivers.
Being the first post of the year of the year, i wan to carry you along on developments and you will have to picture out things in your mind.
Lets discuss about the downtime period in the haulage .Do you know that JANUARY, FEBRUARY,MARCH AND APRIL has always been a downtime period in haulage business. Let me give the reasons below.
1. Socially, individuals who import on regular basis are the "IBO BOYS"(one of Nigeian Ethic group). These guys come home every December to celebrate Christmas and New Year. During these period,go to Alaba International Market or Ladipo International Market,you will understand what i mean.
2. A lot of companies in Nigeria close for business in the middle of december to resume back in january .What does these mean?It simply means that production will either stop or reduce.Invariably, importation of raw materials or finished goods is being halted or reduce.
3. A lot of Nigeria workers like going for annual leave in December and these affects man power and flow of work. If you have a driver who is keen on travelling in December,do you stop him or you hurriedly look for a driver you dont know too well.
As a result of all these purchasing power of everyone is affected .Money is being spent on festive occassions, travelling tickets etc. In january, you prepare to pay for house rent,children's school fees,parents welfare,new wardrobe etc.
While these happen, agents, middlemen and company's take advantage of the available jobs by paying low for jobs. Though the difference is not much,but it affects your net profit. Have you talk to your manager on this? Be smart because you might not get what you are suppose to get at these period from him.
If you own your truck, you are not liable to anybody.
Bye for now. I gat to pick my daughter from School. Work is very low. Still resting at home.
