It happens in Bresciano, where a company specializing in road transport publishes its offer aimed at hiring 50 truckers: salary up to 3,500 euros per month, and one-off bonus up to 6,000 euros for those who sign up by July 2022.

Driving trucks can be a demanding job and, at the same time, a daily activity linked to the sense of freedom inherent in the very fact of traveling. A profession, that of the driver of heavy vehicles, for which in Italy there is a strong demand from companies that, often and for various reasons, struggle to find personnel to hire. To overcome the impasse, selecting suitable candidates and helping them with specific training, a Brescia-based company offers salaries of up to 3,500 euros per month. A thick paycheck, comparable to that of experienced doctors and professionals, with a lot of extra bonuses for hiring by July 2022. The announcement in question specifies to address people who already have a CE license and Cqc, the driver qualification certification which is used to drive vehicles of over 3.5 tons.
TRUCKS WANTED: THE CASE IN BRESCIA
–
The protagonist of the ongoing recruitment campaign is Germani Spa, a company in San Zeno Naviglio, at the “gates” of Brescia, which at the end of June 2022 bought pages of local newspapers to put pen to paper its proposal aimed at hiring 50 drivers. Truck drivers to whom “new factory articulated trucks will be entrusted with the latest generation of comfort and safety equipment”. If the means are at the forefront, the economic offer is also tempting. The company, in fact, offers “a net salary per month from 2,800 to 3,500 euros” (the thirteenth and fourteenth monthly salary must be added to the estimate), with the possibility of choosing whether to work on short routes (return home in the evening) or on routes which include longer trips. And to point out how much the company in question needs to expand its workforce as soon as possible (like many others in Italy …), Germani adds something more to the offer. A hiring bonus of 5,000 euros for contracts signed between 1 and 31 July 2022 (the bonus rises to 6,000 euros if you have the “Adr” certification, necessary to drive vehicles that transport dangerous goods).
TRUCKERS: BECAUSE IT IS TOUGH TO HIRE THEM
–
Beyond the specific case, which arouses interest due to the economic conditions detailed above, the offer in question reflects a situation that can be extended to dozens of other companies: the difficulty in matching labor supply and demand. So much so that in the road freight transport sector, in Italy, 20 thousand truck drivers are missing. The news also reflects a specific shortage in the transport sector, caused (also) by the high costs of obtaining professional licenses, important figures that can sometimes be a “stumbling block” for young and old who plan to approach this activity. To overcome this problem in the medium term, the Brescia-based company has already set up its own “Driver Academy” since 2017 with the aim of selecting five aspiring truck drivers, every quarter, and following them in their training (10-12 months) at the end. of which you can take the exams for the C and CE licenses, the Cqc and the Adr certificate, with the ultimate aim of a direct recruitment.
