On October 2nd, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the All Japan Trucking Association announced that they have created a flyer urging shippers to cooperate in encouraging the use of on-site restrooms for truck drivers, in order to ensure the health and safe operation of trucks.
In areas surrounding delivery destinations, there are few places to park trucks, and drivers are sometimes unable to use restrooms. Therefore, we are asking our client companies for their understanding and cooperation in allowing drivers to use restrooms on-site whenever possible.
They also plan to inform drivers to follow the rules of each facility and to use the restrooms cleanly.
