Improving the treatment of drivers at delivery sites

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.

Why a charter

Improving the treatment
of drivers at delivery sites

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 and urgency of the shortage of professional drivers necessitates urgent action by a wider alliance of stakeholders.
  • The treatment of drivers at delivery sites is one of the key elements to improving the attractiveness of the profession, and thus tackling the driver shortage.
  • Legal compliance and mutual respect will remain at the core of our common values.
