■ Recommended for these people
We are considering specific measures to support the recruitment and retention of drivers.
We want to understand the attitudes and true feelings of our drivers on the ground and work to improve their working environment and treatment.
We want to promote efficiency and digitalization of dispatch and operation management to enable operations with limited personnel.
I am interested in the latest initiatives and survey data from other companies regarding the driver shortage.
