  • Ghana's Building Business |The Real Cost of Running a Truck Business in Ghana ( Africa )| Ghana Life
    We visit a stone quarry site and see how quarry stone is made and learn more about the price of a tipper truck , the cost of running a tipper truck business , how much it costs to buy quarry stone and so much more. We even go on an adventure of riding in a tipper truck for the first time.
    This video will particularly help Africans in the diaspora and African Americans who want to experience life in Ghana, Ghana living and move to Ghana ( Africa ) . This is also a great video for business ideas in Ghana and ways of making money in Ghana ( West Africa ).

    Ms. Dimples it’s fun. My uncle have a trucking business in Trinidad and every time I visit I go on a container drop off run. It’s fun from the height of the truck, but sometimes it’s scary driving in the narrow country roads. Nice video.

    Alia, thanks again for yet another video of interest, informative and beneficial. It's given me an idea of a business venture on my plans to come and invest back home.
    And just to let you know that I am with you all the way, when it comes to the Chinese coming to Ghana/Africa with the wrong intentions. Why should they be allowed to be at the top of most businesses, when we have Ghanians who are better qualified and experienced to be in such positions. The Ghana government should open their eyes and wake up. Please keep up the good work. Remain blessed 🙏🏽

    Thanks for your amazing content- I'm very familiar with this transportation territory in Ghana- I have 2 Sprinter Benz buses sitting there with no good driver- I spent about $50,000 to buy both & ship to Ghana- The problem you face is drivers whose work ethics is horrible- Whoever is dreaming don't think is peaches and cream - You biggest hurdle is good and quality drivers- Quality human resource is totally absent in Ghana nowadays- believe me ! I've been there!

    Businesses don’t work for local people because of the lack of business savvy. A truck cannot survive on $550 per month. Fuel, maintenance and insurance cost more than $550 per month. The numbers just aren’t adding up. The driver is stating that he is paid $50 per month. How can he even afford to eat? If he only spent $2 a day for food, he wouldn’t have enough to eat, yet alone live. So, somebody is lying. $78,000 for one truck. That’s a ridiculous price for Ghana’s economy. Those trucks cost around $15,000 usd to $20,000 usd. The driver gets paid at minimum $250-$350 per month USD. The truck probably makes $150 per run and makes 3-5 deliveries per day. I own a trucking company, so I can’t be told anything. $550 revenue per month is not even money for any business to survive, yet alone heavy equipment.
