approach people and ask especially those touts after the bridge. I personally haven't worked in onitsha yet to know much about the place. But there is a construction company in awka that is currently handling the airport bring built. You can still stroll there and meet any of the drivers available

Alright, sir.
Thanks alot.
I appreciate.

Lemme know what you find.. I want to travel too but don't know how to go about it.

bros since I Googled the earnings of an average truck driver in the US. Naija job just tire me. I am currently trying to save massively before looking for a way to get there. Even as a certified truck driver in naija you would still be expected to go to their truck driving schools for certification. America wan burst my brain aswear. Cool and easy cash

Oga adviser. Okay let's say they follow your advice, what help can you render them? I don't just understand some people and their thinking process.
It's only a joke man...
Though I don't really have interest in transportation business most especially because of safety of live and property

when you are reversing a small car, luxurious bus or even trucks that don't have a turn table(google for more info pls) it goes exactly where you gear the steering towards but in the case of a truck head with turn table hooked to a trailer it's opposite of where the steering is moved to.
Ok I understand. I saw the engine of This Busscar luxury bus and it was so huge like trucks I thought it is same with trucks just speed difference.

ehn no wonder na. When I said hammering I was already calculating the pay converted to naira. Working for like just 3years and I would retire come back and open a multinational company oo. I want to work first and save money. But can't you serve as someone I know when the time comes? We where brought up and taught to fend for ourselves. I have one uncle in germany who was sponsored there by my dad. After I returned from turkey and he heard he was virtually laughing at me and my dad that he has always been telling us that travelling to abroad is not easy but I do see it common among siblings helping each other out. Na so the man matter tire me. I want to prove to him than anyone can choose his or her own destiny. I would surely land there by God's grace.
I see! Well... if you put your mind to it, you can do it. If you can think it you can do it. Are you a trucker already in naija? If you are it will help, but the difference is you must go for a driving lessons, pratical and theorically and pass before you can get a drivers license over here. If you truck over here for 3 years yes! You should have more than £50000 in your bank depending on how you spend but why go back to naija if you can drive for more years in Europe and make more money?

A train driver takes home between £37000 and £45000 a year..

I've always loved to drive trucks although no opportunity to learn yet.
I've watched a good number of movies about truck driving too, with the most recent being "The Ice Road" (Liam Neeson).

Exactly, am heavy duty driver always on the road 24/7 moving range of 35_40 tons in a long distance journey. In couple of hrs am about to move 37 tons of goods to Edo state from Lagos. Driving highly heavy goods Frome state to state is different from moving goods of 20_25 tons within same state, it's different ball game entirely but I salute his ruggedness coz most Nigerian youths especially the educated ones like us are not even interested in truck driving.
A very good day bro am a 10 tyer truck driver, but am out of work for now. Please if there is any opening any company u know am base in enugu, last work with expilot enegy and logistics company.

Really? Online money? grin i i don't know what that means.


Wow! You have driven all these big trucks? You have the experience already that is good.

Driviing school? Well.. when i did my HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicles) driving lessons i think in 2012 it cost me £800 for few lessons but, i failed 4 times, you have to do the theory and practical lessons but for an exprienced driver like you, you wouldn't need alot of lessons, what you need to learn mainly will be road signs, road awareness and few more and also we drive on the right hand, the stiring wheels are also on the right side but in some European countries they drive on the left with left hand wheels.

Also to be able to obtain the HGV license you need to obtain a car license first that you would need lessons on also and you will pay also.

Anyway, you don't have to do these things straightaway. You can do it when you are settlled properly, you might even begin with working in some other menial jobs until you can become a trucker.

I am not sure how much would be enough. Save as much as possible.

Good luck!
