    Hi! Good luck with your business ventures! What comes to the russian language requirement, maybe it's just for the jobs where person-to-person interaction is important so that older generation people could buy tickets directly from the driver without a hassle. Maybe it's worth to reach out to some companies which do not necessarily have such strict language requirements? Personally saw foreigners who drive garbage trucks and collect trash bins today in Vilnius and remembered your channel and business idea :)

    The trucking industry is probably not the place to start. It is quite exploitive in Lithuania. There was even a documentary made "Fūrų vergai" that sorta showed how it goes.

  • @PijusONLINE
    @PijusONLINE Před 3 měsíci +34

    I'm Lithuanian and from my own limited run-ins with logistics I can confirm that the truck drivers here are almost exclusively Ukrainian, Belarusian and russian as of around 10-15 years ago (and not just here in-country, there's a fleet of around 100k trucks with Lithuanian licence plates driving all around Europe). These companies are probably reluctant to open a second line of communications and alter their existing procedures just to cater to folks from further afield. Most recently, they've been looking for drivers in countries like Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan in keeping with the language theme. What is more, this industry is unfortunately notorious for migrant exploitation, so I would advise against trying to get into it (there's an excellent documentary about it on CZcams called Lorry Slaves) 😞.

    Well, the thing is that most of the driver shortage comes from logistic companies which historically were leaning more towards east rather then west and only few succceeded. In general this sector is very very far away from business logics we are used today. Now majority of them even helps Russia to avoid sanctions throgh Caucasus as they are run by russians or belarussians with access to EU. On the other hand, drivers arer not getting best treatment eitherr, conditions are terrrible, pay is low etc. there is a whole documentary on this topic released few years ago. Keep your spirits up! I bet you will find your niche.

Also, check biggest companies who is planing to build the big projeckts in here like Teltonika and other high tech companies what kind of specialists do they need. Logistics from my expierence is very shitty area here in LT. And a lot of big logistics companies gets qoutas from goverment for cheap labour/drivers from Kazchstan and so on to work in here.

When you think about it, that’s supper funny, but very inconvenient.
    When you will find key decision making people, then a lot of questions will be solved.
