THILOGI Road Transport Corporation (THILOTRANS) currently has nearly 400 drivers, responsible for picking up and dropping off employees and transporting a variety of goods such as: cars, spare parts, agricultural products, industrial equipment, mechanics... They are the key factor in ensuring the safe pick-up and drop-off of employees, on time, at the right place, meeting the production and business activities of units at THACO Chu Lai; at the same time, they are the connecting link in the logistics supply chain, contributing to bringing shipments of businesses in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia to the world market.
It can be said that drivers are the personnel representing the service quality and professional image of the transport company. Therefore, THILOTRANS focuses on building a team of drivers with culture, standard behavior and honesty in work.
“Must be highly focused, always alert and observant”
To have safe trips, the top requirement for drivers is a serious, careful attitude and a high sense of responsibility, along with flexibility and initiative in all situations.
Mr. Nguyen Tan Toan - Agricultural product driver said: "Driving tractor trailers several dozen meters long on mountain passes and steep terrain is really a big challenge, requiring high concentration and alertness, paying attention to observation and judgment to handle unexpected incidents. In particular, before departure, I always check the vehicle from the journey monitoring camera to the steering system, wheels, lights, brakes, horn... to minimize risks arising during transportation."
In addition to concentration, observation and quick judgment, THILOTRANS drivers always behave properly in all situations, thereby contributing to building the Group's prestigious image with customers.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh - Shuttle driver shared: "We always remind ourselves to be polite and gentle with customers, slow and calm in all situations, ready to support and help others when participating in traffic; especially uphold professional ethics, not seeking personal gain."
After more than 15 years of working as a shuttle bus driver, often leaving early and returning late, Mr. Tran Nhu Bao's passion and dedication to the job remain the same as the first day. During his work, he also actively participated in many meaningful activities of the Group such as the trip to bring Quang Nam people living in Ho Chi Minh City back to their hometown during the Covid-19 pandemic... Mr. Bao shared: "With a long time of attachment, gradually driving is not only a way to make a living but also my joy and happiness every day. Safe trips, meeting many different people, satisfied smiles, that is the motivation that helps me continue to try and contribute to the development of THILOGI".
Sharing the same happiness when driving as Mr. Bao, Mr. Pham Viet Chau, Head of the Agricultural Product Driving Team, said: “After more than 20 years of working as a driver, self-proclaimed titles like “silk driver” are illusory. For me, safe driving is the priceless happiness in every trip.”
Always improve and enhance the skills and ethics of the driving team
In addition to complying with road traffic laws, drivers must regularly practice and improve their skills, expertise, courage and ethics. Every month, THILOGI opens specialized training courses on safe driving skills, traffic laws, how to handle situations during transportation... for drivers. At the same time, it promotes communication and raises awareness for drivers through many forms such as: publishing internal communication newsletters, Cultural Handbook, Driver Newsletter... In addition, the Group also launched the "Outstanding Driver" emulation movement to honor dedicated drivers with a sense of responsibility at work, thereby adding motivation, helping them "keep a steady hand on the wheel, keep a steady foot on the gas" and be ready to receive and perform well the assigned tasks.
At THILOTRANS, the Agricultural Goods Transportation Department has nearly 200 drivers with more than 200 different specialized vehicles, serving long-distance transportation on the Vietnam - Laos/Cambodia route. Mr. Nguyen Duy Linh - Deputy Director of Sales, Department of Agricultural Goods Delivery and Transportation said: “On long journeys, it is inevitable that vehicles will have problems or breakdowns on the road. Therefore, the unit always focuses on maintenance, periodic inspection, and regular training of skills and expertise for employees; assigning experienced, skilled, and experienced drivers to support and help newcomers; at the same time, strictly implementing the Group's regulations and road traffic safety laws.”
Each type of transportation requires different expertise and skills, but all drivers aim for the common goal of ensuring the safety of people and goods. Despite facing many difficulties, the THILOTRANS driver team always maintains faith in the profession, strives to complete assigned tasks, and brings satisfaction and value to customers and partners.
