There is a shortage of drivers in road transportation in Russia; Women can also be hired as truck drivers. In this respect kp.ru said Anton Shaparin, Vice President of the National Automobile Association.
According to him, road transport is in great demand, as evidenced by the increase in its volumes compared to rail and pipeline. But women are practically not involved in long-distance transportation.
“Times are changing, modern technology is much more people-friendly. <…> A modern long-haul truck has sleeping quarters, a washing machine and cooking facilities. And modern Chinese cars even have showers, this is a completely different level of comfort. If salaries in this industry increase, and it seems to me that they will, then women will begin to master heavy trucks, just as they are actively mastering courier delivery, the expert believes.
