The ABC Of Transporting Commodities In Nigeria


1.       Avoid booking for a road side truck, it is illegal and could be dangerous
2.       Book your truck at the transporter’s office
3.       Confirm the efficiency of the transport company and their drivers before engaging them
4.       Do a good in transit (GIT) insurance with a reputable insurance company through a good broker
5.       Endeavour to know the capacity of the trucks before loading it
6.       Find a warehouse at the destination before the truck arrival to avoid truck demurrage
7.       Get the contact numbers of the company and the truck driver for proper monitoring during the journey
8.       Hired truck drivers’ attitude could be annoying, please be patient with them
9.       Inquire from other exporters the challenges they face with transport companies so as to prepare your mind
10.   Journey to the destination could be delayed, therefore do not be unnecessary apprehensive
