- Transport and logistics companies in the Czech Republic face a worsening shortage of drivers despite higher wages and improved benefits.
- Drivers are aging, and the number entering the profession is declining, prompting firms to seek more women for these roles.
Higher pay and better benefits have not solved the driver shortage troubling Czech transport companies. Firms, including those in Central Bohemia, are still struggling to find enough people behind the wheel.
The problem is becoming more severe as the existing driver workforce ages. At the same time, fewer drivers are available, leaving logistics companies searching for new groups of potential employees.
Some firms are now seeking to recruit women as they try to fill vacancies. The shortage affects transport companies beyond a single location, with the difficulties also reported in Central Bohemia.
