WHY SOME TRUCKS MAKE MONEY THAN SOME TRUCKS

Hello guys, it is good to be back after many months. I am dead sorry. But I have been attending to some of you guys on phones and through mails. I am very grateful for some of you guys that have decided to try my services regardless of the Nigerian factor. I appreciate you very much. I promise not to let you down. Well that is that. I have been very busy with what I know best in the last 3 months that is my haulage business. This is our peak period from now till December 14th. In this post, I will let you understand why some trucks make money than some trucks. There are many reasons why some trucks make money than other trucks in haulage business. But the general assumption that many potential investors have is that if Mr Tobi’s truck is making N300, why should my truck make less? This assumption has made many people fail. It has led many potential investors to the wrong managers and who latterly plan to sell their trucks or term Nigerians as the worst people to deal with. But think of the people that are still in this business, making consistent money from haulage business. Number One truth is this: Do you know that the tonnage of your flat bed will determines the amount will make monthly? We have different type of flatbed with different tonnages. We have flatbed of 25 tonnes, 30 tonnes and so and forth. Because these flatbeds differ in tonnes, they haul different goods. It is therefore important that you know the tonnages of your flatbed before you start using it to haul goods. To start a haulage business, you flatbed must be 30 tonnes. Even when you know that it is 30 tonnes, you must know the type of goods that is fit for such flatbed. Always try as much to know the weight of the goods you want to carry at all times. Check the bill of lading of the goods if you are doing delivery jobs within the metropolis. If you are doing just transfer from the sea ports to bonded terminals, I encourage you to stick to 40 feet containers only, only when you know that you have a flatbed that weigh more than 30 tonnes, then you can carry 2x20 feet containers. Carry goods that outweigh you flatbed means that you are not ready to make consistent money from haulage business. It also means that the life span of the truck will diminish as fast as possible. This will put pressure on the engine of you truck. And you know what that means. Because a truck is classified as a heavy duty machinery doesn’t mean that you should use it in any manner you like. Remember, trucking business is a business. You live from it. You delved into it because it will help achieve a long term goals. SO PLEASE TREAT IT LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. TREAT IT LIKE A BABY. AND YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT. More Info: 08185208688.
