How to Venture into the Trucking & Plant Machinery Business

In every business you start you work with what you have. What do you have at the moment. If you have R500k+ to buy a truck then buy it or if you have 800k+ to buy one plant machine then buy it

Perks of being in trucking. On a Monday morning you can find yourself buying spares😅. Enter into trucking knowing that you will spend because you can find yourself spending around R30k at a truck spare shop on a few spares.

Yes make sure when you get a flatdeck superlink trailer or triaxle trailer that it has container twist locks so you can transport container loads and also pole pockets where you can put uprights if you transporting loads like plastic or metal pipes.

Truck tyres even. Until they find out that a truck Michelin tyre cost about R10k each and a truck alone takes 10 tyres so that's R100k worth of tyres gone on the truck only not counting the 16 tyres on the trailer which is another R160k worth of tyres gone
I see nothing wrong here. This is how criminals should be treated. Moer this thing... we're tired of criminals in this country.

If you buying via finance then instead of financing a new truck of a brand that is not in the top 5, it’s better to finance a second hand Scania or Volvo. I will do a thread soon on why I still choose a second hand truck instead of a new one whether buying it cash or via finance.

Tanker Trailer
It is very limited as you can only transport commodities in liquid form which only best to get when you have received a long term contract for it with good rates that won’t make you seek for back loads.

Flatdeck Superlink Trailer
The best trailer to start with in the trucking industry because it takes loads that are loaded using loading mechanism like a crane.

Triaxle Trailer
Is the second best trailer even though it is similar to the Flatdeck Superlink Trailer its disadvantage is the maximum weight it can load is 30 tons while the maximum weight a flatdeck superlink can load is 34 tons.

55
Summary: Main load rate you get must be sufficient enough for your truck/s to return back to loading point empty. Taking a return load if it's available and ready to load must be an option to increase your profit but not mandatory because it can decrease your productivity.
2

55
Trucking is not hard and is not easy but it's workable as long as you know you are in trucking to build and not to only finance your expensive lifestyle. You must be patient, willing to learn everyday, you even listen and learn from your driver in that way your business grows.

The formula to calculate CPK is simple: rate of the load ÷ by round trip distance = CPK
NB: it is important to clarify if the kilometres being quoted on the LOI is one way distance or round trip because that plays a huge role when calculating the CPK
2
9
48
Something important to note:
A 34 ton Side tipper trailer legal maximum loading capacity is 34 tons
For example: R350 per ton x 400km roundtrip
R350 per ton x 34 tons = R11900
R11900 (total rate) ÷ 400km (roundtrip distance) = R29.75 (CPK)

Total expenses: around R85k x 40% = R34k + R85k = R119k x 60% mark up = R71400 + R119k = R190400
This is why the current market related price from Johannesburg to Lubumbashi in DRC is around R190k
Your profit on this load: R190k - R85k = R105k

Side Tipper Trailer
One of the most overrated trailers in the industry. The disadvantage about this trailer is that it can only transport commodities that are not packaged or palletized the most commonly used term is bulk commodities.
2

41
Tautliner Trailer
The disadvantage about this trailer is that it can only load goods that are loaded from the sides using loading mechanism like forklift plus your loads must not overlap on the sides because they might damage the tarpaulins/curtains of the trailer.

41
My formula: total expenses x 40% = the amount + total expenses = the amount(A) x 60% mark up = the amount + the amount(A) = the final rate
For example a load from Johannesburg to Lubumbashi in DRC with flatdeck triaxle, flatdeck superlink, tautliner, tanker or lowbed trailer.

NB: Roundtrip meaning from loading to offloading and back to loading.
A rate must be sufficient for you to go and offload and return back to offloading point empty don't let people fool you by decreasing the rate or offer you a less rate by saying the is a return load.

A return load is a separate load meaning its just a bonus on your profits that you have a return load but the main load rate must be so good that you can return back to the loading empty and not worry about getting or looking for return load.

This is a good rate because it is over R25.
If CPK is below R25 bad rate
If CPK is above R25 good rate
Please note: a flatdeck triaxle, flatdeck superlink trailer, tautliner, tanker and abnormal lowbed trailer loads are calculated different from a side tipper trailer loads.

The LOI would have details such as the loading point, offloading point, the rate or how much they offering to transport the load, the payment terms(100% or full payment after loading or 50% after loading and 50% after offloading or Cash on delivery or weekly payment or fortnight)

In trucking we have what you call a CPK which stands for 'Cost Per Kilometre'
We also have what you call LOI which stands for Letter Of Intent: Usually when a client or company offers a load to be transported they will pull all details of the load on the LOI.
