On tour
Almost every product, from jam in the grocery store to steel girders for bridge construction, has a long journey in the truck behind it. The tour guide here is the truck driver, who - whether near or far - puts a lot of time into these trips. For the driver, time means managing his schedule to deliver the goods on time.
Tasks with joy
Depending on which area - local or long-distance - one works, working hours can vary. Logistics companies strive to make route planning family-friendly. In doing so, they also have to take legal requirements into account, as there are prescribed driving and rest breaks that must be observed. In the future, it can be assumed that scheduling - similar to shifts in other industries - will change and become increasingly attractive.
Versatility is in demand
Of course, financial aspects also play a role in the choice of profession. Which is also justified throughout. After all, the truck driver is an important and versatile employee of his company on various levels at the same time. If the truck has a defect on the road, for example, the driver's technical knowledge is in demand. Not everyone can change a truck tire or have a "nose" for why the vehicle just won't start. For the customer, the driver is not at least the friendly, always technically skilled "external representative" of his boss/company.
Enjoy a head start
The truck driver's profession is very tech-savvy. Not only does he know what an engine looks like, for example, he can use his knowledge to deal with it in the event of defects or failures. Even if the combustion engine gives way to the electrically powered drive in the future, the driver is always close to the new technology. That, too, is what makes the job so exciting.
Change saddles
The driver of tomorrow is not just the driver of a vehicle. He is a flexibly deployable employee of his company. With his knowledge and training, he can also perform tasks directly within the company. After all, logistics is the third-largest sector of the economy and offers a growing number of jobs that also provide opportunities for career changers. For example, the driver may well become a dispatcher within the same company.
Diversity
The logistics sector is incredibly diverse. Many different professions make it very attractive. What distinguishes the driver's profession is having a job that is enjoyable, that offers proximity to new technologies and tasks, and that is increasingly gaining recognition - also financially.
Exciting jobs can also be found at companies that make modern logistics possible. One example of this is the company Edscha TS, which stands for innovative concealed technology.
