I will be starting my driving training (not truck) in two weeks time.
What advice do you have for me please?
remove fear from your mind. Na common machine na! And also be very attentive at the smallest details. Look out for the reasons why brakes are applied,manouvering into corners etc. Don't worry it's a piece of cake

some of the jobs are stressful. Some require driving all through the night like my former job. While others are well managed and you are expected to drive at intervals with much rest.

That’s Commercial Driver’s License. You will need to attend a trade school for trucking to get that. It’s just a couple of months training. Besides, no embassy is going to issue you a visa to attend a driving school in the US. You need a college admission to get a visa

Truck drivers are specialists in ripping off the original truck owners. . . grin

Even they (the truck drivers) hardly buy trucks and put it on the road. They are scared as fuçk.
most one man truck companies are owned by former drivers, so your statement is still in hypothesis mode!!

Hello bro.
I've passion for "truck driving" but I really do not know how to go about it.

You mind helping out?
All cost on me.

Currently in onistha.
don't let any one deceive you. Learning truck is the only apprenticeship scheme where by you even earn stipends while learning either from your Oga(driver you are following) or company ( some companies pay motor-boys too). Just endeavour to go to any trailer park around you and approach the driver of any vehicle that tickles your fancy. But I would always advice one learns with Mack trucks because ones you master Mack trucks there is no other truck you cant comfortably handle.

Whats the minimum salary of a truck driver in Nigeria
ones you can get into any company their salaries are usually between the range of 30k-50k except for the multinational like julius berger and their likes that offer higher salary.but as a truck driver your monthly take home must exceed 100k sha from accumulated trip bonuses to other incentives like dispatch etc. It's not everything that can be explained once.
