The road transport sector of the economy has been looking forward to the opportunity to recover after the pandemic, and it plays a key role in the recovery process, but it faces new challenges - long queues at the borders, an acute shortage of personnel in the industry. Transit in many countries has increased by more than 50%. However, after a survey of commercial road transport operators in over 25 countries in America, Asia and Europe, it was found that more than two and a half million professional drivers are missing in this sector. Umberto de Pretto, Secretary General of the International Road Transport Union (IRU), touched upon such problems of the industry in his video message to the participants of the transport forum in Ashgabat.
