The “Truck Show” is back in Houdeng-Goegnies this Saturday, September 2. And as its name suggests, it’s the meeting place for drivers and truck enthusiasts. The opportunity to raise public awareness of the shortage of truck drivers. “In Belgium, there is a shortage of more than 5,000 truck drivers“, says Didier Michel, President of the Federation of Road Transporters (Febetra) and Managing Director of Michel Logistics.
This shortage, Didier Michel has also noticed in his company: “For our company, we have been missing ten drivers for at least five years. And unfortunately, it’s not getting better. However, transport is a beautiful profession. We make a decent living. In distribution, we go home every day“.
In Wallonia, one out of thirty unemployed people is trained in the shortage profession, relayed this Saturday morning the newspaper L’Echo. So, the Truck Show is also an opportunity to carry out a seduction operation in the hope of attracting labour.
