Upcoming Seminar on Recruiting Bangladeshi Truck Drivers

Fuji Soken Logistics Co., Ltd., one of Japan's leading logistics consulting firms, is set to host a significant seminar aimed at transport and logistics company executives. Scheduled for May 29, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, this event promises to deliver critical insights into hiring truck drivers from Bangladesh, a topic gaining considerable traction in the logistics sector.

Seminar Details

The seminar will be held at the Sustainable Growth Square TOKYO, located in Chuo Ward, Tokyo. Participants can expect discussions led by top executives from companies currently engaged in hiring foreign drivers. The primary agenda focuses on the challenges and advantages of recruiting from Bangladesh, a country emerging as a key source of labor for this sector.

Highlighted Speakers

Among those leading the discussions:

• - Taketoku Iida, President of To-unyu Co., Ltd.

Operating for over 150 years with a fleet of 92 trucks, To-unyu specializes in both regular delivery services and charter transport across the Kanto region, handling a diverse range of goods from food to industrial materials.

• - Kazuyo Katake, President of Yamashou Unyu Co., Ltd.

With operations mainly in Gifu and Aichi Prefectures, Yamashou has expanded into Kanagawa Prefecture in 2023, managing 105 trucks and a variety of products including cardboard and automotive parts.

Discussion Topics

The panel discussion will cover key themes such as:

• - Why Recruit from Bangladesh? With a large pool of potential drivers and a driving culture similar to Japan's, Bangladesh presents unique opportunities. Many Bangladeshi drivers are also practicing Muslims, with a lower likelihood of consuming alcohol, making them attractive to employers concerned with workplace culture.
• - Benefits of Experienced Drivers: Recruiting experienced drivers from Bangladesh not only expedites training but also ensures a swift adaptation to Japan's trucking standards and regulations, minimizing the risks associated with onboarding new drivers.
• - Reducing Training Costs: Investing in existing skilled labor from Bangladesh can significantly lower the time and cost associated with training new drivers, providing immediate value for logistics companies.

Cost and Registration

The seminar is priced at 27,500 yen with a special discount for LPS members bringing the fee down to 22,000 yen. Given the limited scope of hiring regulations under the Specified Skills visa program, this seminar is particularly timely, allowing for actionable strategy formation in acquiring global talent.
