Why Focus on Foreign Drivers?

With the increasing demand for skilled drivers in Japan, particularly in the logistics sector, we face a significant shortage of domestic talent. The aging population and challenges in attracting young workers compound these issues. The introduction of the specified skilled worker visa program has opened doors for foreign talent to actively participate in this vital industry.

Current Trends:

• - As of May 12, 2026, 42 foreign drivers are currently employed at Izumi Logistics, highlighting the success of foreign integration within a Japanese company.
• - Of these drivers, 28 hold the specified skilled worker visa, while others are in transition or hold permanent resident statuses.
