Challenges Companies Face When Hiring International Truck Drivers

The skilled worker shortage in the transport and logistics sector is already a reality. Dispatchers, truck drivers, warehouse specialists, and supply chain professionals are increasingly difficult to find, particularly at short notice and in sufficient numbers.

Driver Shortage and Long Vacancy Periods

Open driver positions frequently remain unfilled for weeks or months, increasing pressure on route planning, shift operations, and service quality. We provide suitable drivers from abroad quickly.

High Competition and Last-Minute Cancellations

Qualified professional drivers often receive multiple offers. Last-minute cancellations and job changes are common, making workforce planning difficult. We prioritize firm commitments with realistic start dates.

High Administrative Burden and Unclear Timelines

Employment contracts, compliance requirements, and for international hires, additional visa and recognition procedures lead to delays and unpredictable start dates. We manage the entire process on your behalf.

CANDIDATE PROFILES, PREFERENCES, AND CHALLENGES

Diverse Talent Pools

  • Candidates with EU Driving License and Driver Qualification Card (CPC):

    These are the most sought-after drivers among employers. They are very difficult to recruit and typically prefer 3:1 or 4:1 shift models. Compensation is the primary motivator and job changes for higher pay are common..

  • Candidates with CPC and Code 70:
    Very common in countries such as Poland and Hungary. These non-EU drivers hold an EU driving license and CPC. However, the license was often only converted, meaning a new examination in Germany may be required.

  • Candidates with a National Driving License:
    Many countries have professional drivers who are eager to work in Germany. Countries such as Uzbekistan and India have established training programs to prepare drivers for deployment in Europe.

  • Candidates with Strong German Language Skills:
    Morocco and Tunisia in particular offer a large talent pool. These candidates have been learning German for years and hold a national driving license, which significantly increases their chances of passing the German driving examination.
