As promising as haulage business greed is a factor that
militates against the success of the business, especially when Nigerians have
the attitude of making money in a short time. Infact one of the main reasons
why a lot of people are discourage to invest in the business is because of
greedy attitude of the persons involve in the business. It is not that people
don’t want to invest their money but why should people lose money after saving
for a lengthy time to invest in the haulage business.
Greed and corruption today is one reason why foreign investors
are discouraged to invest in Nigeria. BOKO HARAM is also a threat to the
foreign investment. How do we account for lives of the foreign expatriates that
were kidnapped and killed in Sokoto state this year?
Anyway lets live BOKO HARAM today and lets face the main
topic GREED. Let us remember that there are three parties involved in the
haulage business
a)
The driver
b)
The manager
c)
The owner
A GREEDY driver is one who fails to deliver money on time as
at when due. A greedy driver is the one who bargains with your technician or
mechanic to extort money from you. A greedy driver is one who claims that he
needs 75 litres of diesel to a particular location but in actual sense he needs
just 50litres.
A greedy manager is the one who fails to remit to the owner
monthly returns as promised. A greedy manager will not maintain the truck as at
when due. A greedy manager loves second hand tyres and second hand batteries. A
greedy manager will therefore be a victim of LASMA officials every week.
A greedy truck owner is the one who tries to make his
investment back in less than a year. A greedy truck owner will be a victim of
high blood pressure if he listens to side talks. A greedy truck owner is not
comfortable with a consistent manager and wants to earn more.
All said and done, but how do we curb all these practices.
How do we help to make these businesses succeed? What must be done to checkmate
a greedy driver, greedy manager or greedy owner or how do we help ourselves not
to be greedy. WATCHOUT FOR PART 2
