The requirements should always be high since it’s a lot of responsibility! The cost of learning, getting licensed should be as low as possible and salary must reflect demand
Probably electrification of this sector should also be priority, automatic transmission would help tackle the learning curve for drivers
Plz elaborate, i would like to know more about driving trucks… i was not saying it was the most challenging part but another complexity that if removed would help, every simplification would help
I assume the dimensions of the truck are 1 of the biggest problems
Dimension in combination with traffic are the biggest challenge with driving as such.
Complexity doesn’t go down, but up in new trucks, and automation is a big cause for it, because you need to know much more about how a system behaves in order to make it do what you actually want, if it is automated.
The real problem isn’t technology however, but good old corporate greed and the race to the bottom. Drivers tend to be treated and paid like shit, there are a whole bunch of increasingly complex regulations to follow, and getting and keeping a license costs a small fortune.

That really isn’t the challenging part of driving. Not even with a 16-speed gearbox.
