As for the Prime mover, a vehicle with double diff allows you to carry 2t extra than the normal ones (with leading axle), which can only carry maximum of 28t.


This feedback alone made me day.

Sorry I do not have info on this @Kratos. How about you contact your nearest motor-vehicle inspection unit?

I have been in this business for 2 years now, and as rightly put - its not for the faint hearted. I am in fuel transport servicing 2-3 year contracts to the Great lakes region. KLA, Kigali, DRC and Juba. The are all 6x2 Axors semi-used acquired from UK where i get financing from.

I have employed someone who deals with the day to day running of the trucks, so do not deal with the nitty gritty of the everyday operations. The easily make $2500 per week however i have been exiting the business slolwy now remaining with 3 trucks as have other ventures to pursue.

The make or break in this business is kind of contract, crew and cash flow - The guy who gave me the contracts introduced me to a petrol station owner who gives me fuel for 60-90 days and
then pay him.I have seen guys get it wrong when they try to "tega" goods at the port and for the life of me this is an avenue i would not pursue.

Like all things i must say it was fun, learnt loads now there other fish to fry.

The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.
