The staffing of personnel in transport: what are the challenges? How to be successful in this field with an international vocation.
Target transportation for an investment rich in opportunities.
The transport sector is subject to numerous requirements, be it technical, wage, practical, competitive, security or legislative. This sector is directly linked to the fluctuations of the economy: the economic crisis of 2008-2009 had a strong impact on the sector. This field is thus intrinsically moving, while being affected by external factors. With revenues in excess of $ 10.8 billion in 2013, Quebec’s road transport industry is a true economic engine in Quebec, both in cities and peripheral regions. In figures, there are 45,000 companies employing 280,000 people in all categories. On the basis of these data, it is clear that this sector has a very high investment potential. However, in order to exploit it, it is necessary to be able to meet various challenges.

Some are general, such as experience, availability, driver class, quality of driving record, while others are more specific. For example, the transport of hazardous materials requires certification or that insurance premiums are higher for those under 25 years of age. Not to mention that no transport mission resembles another. Each one brings its share of constraints: border crossing, tight deadlines, nature of the load, type of vehicle. Many parameters must therefore be taken into account.
