    It’s kind of the same everywhere, right? So the older generations were able to drive lorries with their normal license. And that was split in separate licenses a while ago. Which totally made sense. And here in Germany, since the end of compulsory military service, nobody got their C-license. So we have fewer people who are even allowed to drive a truck. And then you have deteriorating working conditions for truck drivers making this one a really bad job. You really do not want to pay several thousand Euros for a C-license just for having to spend your weekends on a dirty Autobahn stop. Add the propaganda about self driving trucks replacing every driver in the next years and of course nobody wants to do this job.
