About the White Logistics Movement

The White Logistics Movement* addresses the increasingly serious shortage of truck drivers with the goal of ensuring stable logistics, which is necessary for the people's lifestyles and industries' activities, and contributes to the growth of the economy. The movement aims to increase the productivity of truck transport, streamline logistics, and create a white working environment where it is easy for female drivers and drivers who are 60 or older to work.
