Do you care about our drivers?

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.

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 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

Why you should join

Companies and individuals can join the charter for free.

The Alliance

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.

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.
