Millions of truck drivers deliver your goods and keep our communities and economies running.
But these essential workers are often not respected and face difficult conditions.
Each of us can help. We are collecting signatures from shippers, transport operators, drivers and individuals who want to stand up for how drivers are treated.
IRU, the world road transport organisation, has joined forces with the Global Shippers’ Alliance and the International Transport Workers’ Federation to improve working conditions for drivers based on these principles.
Road transport is vital to mobility, the supply chain and the global economy.
Professional drivers are a key asset in the supply chain
The severity of the shortage of professional drivers necessitates urgent action
The treatment of drivers is key to improve the attractiveness of the profession
Legal compliance and mutual respect will remain at the core of our common values
Joining the charter is completely free of charge
Companies and individuals can join the charter for free.
You only have to register via the form and provide some of your details. The whole process only takes 1 min. It is a small step for each of us but a giant leap for drivers’ conditions.
Join the charter and be part of a global movement which puts people at the core of its action.
Help us to reach 10,000+ signatures and create real impact globally.

Dear friends,
Commercial road transport is a vital link in all supply chains and transport networks. Without trucks and vans, economic life would soon come to a standstill.
Drivers of commercial vehicles provide an essential service, but often face difficult conditions, poor treatment and a lack of respect.
Our charter on improving the treatment of drivers at delivery sites sets out commitments for shippers, transport operators and drivers to improve driver conditions and keep global supply chains running smoothly.
Sign it today and support our drivers.
