The coronavirus crisis and the Ukraine conflict have shown just how important supply chains are. Professional drivers have a particularly large responsibility in this regard, as they ensure that shelves are filled and warehouses are full. Our trainees Sharlyn Dibke (3rd year of apprenticeship) and Tajana Hinrichs (2nd year of apprenticeship) are passionate about their work. What makes the job so special for them? The variety of opportunities! <\/p>\n

As a professional truck driver at L.I.T., no two days are the same. Today the short haul with containers full of coffee and tomorrow car parts across Germany \u2013 the variety is huge. But it’s not just about making the roads (un)safe. Professional drivers represent the company to the outside world and juggle tasks such as load securing, scheduling and trailer management. \u00bbYou are the office administrator, planner and driver all in one, so to speak\u00ab, explains Carsten Harms, Administrative Manager and Trainer at the L.I.T. Cargo GmbH And it is precisely this diversity that L.I.T. offers from day one of the training programme. <\/p>\n

Every year in August, the \u00bbBKF trainees\u00ab start with a familiarisation and induction phase as well as the class C\/CE driving licence course. After completing their driving test, they receive their first instruction on the truck and can take the wheel themselves. During their training, they pass through various departments and learn about the technical and planning side of the job as well as the actual driving. And as the icing on the cake, there is additional training such as the forklift licence or the ADR licence.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00bbWomen in the fast lane<\/span>\u00ab
<\/h3>\n

The world of professional truck drivers is still a male domain. But Sharlyn and Tajana prove that women can also be successful in this profession. Sharlyn is convinced: \u00bbStupid comments always come, whether you’re a man or a woman\u00ab. She has found that, as a woman, she receives help very quickly, for example when a tension belt gets stuck or the 75kg support leg of the swap body comes loose. And if there are any comments, the trainees receive
direct support from their trainers. They are aware of the challenge and have a zero-tolerance approach to this issue, whether driver or customer.<\/p>\n

Training as a professional driver offers an insight into the diverse world of the logistics industry and guarantees a qualification with future potential. At L.I.T., trainees get off to a flying start right from the start and familiarise themselves with all facets of the business. And thanks to the trusting relationship with the trainers, problems can be solved directly and individual wishes can be taken into account. \u00bbI fell in love with the job and wouldn’t give it up for anything\u00ab, says Tajana. She advises future female professional drivers: \u00bbIf you fancy it, just do it!\u00ab<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
