Ibrahim D.
Logistics CEO · Kano
Haulage and delivery run on the narrowest margins of any sector here, and the two costs that decide them — fuel and maintenance — are the two most often estimated rather than recorded.
Cost per trip is the only number that matters
A route is profitable or it is not, and the answer changes with the diesel price. Charging a flat rate set six months ago against fuel bought this week is how an operator stays busy and loses money on every load.
Cost per trip means diesel for the actual distance, the driver's time, the wear attributable to those kilometres, tolls and levies, and the empty return leg if there is no backhaul. That last one is where most route pricing goes wrong: a one-way rate that ignores getting the vehicle back is not a rate at all.
Maintenance is a cost you choose when to pay
Deferred servicing does not save money, it moves it — usually into a larger repair and a vehicle off the road during it. Because the saving is visible immediately and the cost arrives later, it is the easiest false economy in the sector.
Recording maintenance per vehicle rather than as a single fleet line makes the argument concrete. One vehicle consuming a disproportionate share of the repair budget is a decision waiting to be made, and it is invisible in an aggregate figure.
The asset test will catch you
This is the sector where the small company exemption is most often lost on the second test rather than the first. Turnover can sit comfortably under ₦100,000,000 while the fleet takes total fixed assets past ₦250,000,000 — and failing either test means full 30% Companies Income Tax plus the 4% Development Levy on all profit.
Knowing where the asset register stands before year end is worth actual money here, in a way it is not for a business whose main asset is a laptop.
Questions
Frequently asked
How do I work out whether a route is profitable?
Total the diesel for the real distance, driver cost, attributable maintenance, tolls and levies, and include the return leg if it runs empty. Compare that against the rate charged. Routes that look profitable on a one-way basis frequently are not.
Can I track costs per vehicle?
Yes — record fuel and maintenance against the specific vehicle rather than as a fleet total. The variation between vehicles is usually large and is the basis for deciding what to repair, what to replace and what to retire.
Is transport subject to VAT in Nigeria?
Commercial haulage and freight services are generally standard-rated at 7.5%, with some public passenger transport treated differently. Given the ₦25,000,000 registration threshold, most operators of any scale are inside the VAT net and should confirm their specific treatment.
