Being a truck driver can be challenging. Truckfly’s CEO, Stéphane Rabiller, explains how its app is improving the daily lives of over 330,000 truck drivers.
IRU’s latest driver shortage survey found that over three million truck driver positions are currently unfilled in 36 countries, an already grim figure which is projected to double by 2028 without significant action.

 

The report also features best practices and measures implemented by road transport associations and companies as well as governments to make the profession more accessible and to attract more talent.

Here’s how Truckfly is improving truck drivers’ working conditions.

 

What are the key challenges that Truckfly is tackling?
Truckfly by Michelin is a community app that helps truck drivers find the best points of interest on the road, such as parking spots, restaurants, service stations, showers, toilets, etc. More than 80,000 points of interest across Europe are listed on the app.

Truckfly also helps drivers find jobs through a dedicated platform.

 

How many drivers are using the app?
More than 330,000 drivers are using the app. A total of 9% of them are women, which is two to three times higher than the market average. This is explained by the sense of safety that Truckfly provides through information and reviews on the points of interest.

The age distribution varies by country. In France, 62.7% of users are over 45 years old (with 1.5% over 65), 28.2% are between 25 and 44. Only 9.2% are under 25 years old. Read more
