Abstract: Why is it difficult to recruit truck drivers?. - The transport and logistic sector has been deeply transformed in the course of the last quarter of century, thus involving a profound change in the job of driver. The statistical sources allow to inform the current state of supply and demand of drivers. They firmly establish the difficult recruiting conditions. Numerous studies have first tried to find out external causes, outside the sector particularly in the field of perception and image of the trade. However, few studies address the drivers themselves. Still, the shortage has become a growing trend and exceeds the framework of the Hexagon, within very different contexts and the expedients are not any more enough. It seems to be worth reversing the usual prospect while seeking to understand how the road drivers themselves feel about their job. This prospect has constituted an incentive for the investigation on road drivers carried out by Randstad interim (2006). Putting part of the results of this investigation into perspective has generated new hypotheses on the origins of the difficulties in recruiting and making drivers loyal experienced in the last decade.
