With a massive shortage of truck drivers in Romania, as more and more Romanian drivers are leaving for more developed countries, the solution for Romanian employers remains foreign labor. Here's how much a driver from Asia who comes to work in Romania can earn.
How much do Asian truck drivers earn?
Drivers brought to Romania have salaries starting from 850 euro, and their incomes can rise to almost 1.200 euro for domestic flights and up to 2.500 euro for the EU community, as is the case of Mateo Jr. Vilar, a truck driver from the Philippines who has been working for almost two years for one of the biggest transportation companies in Romania.
"I send about €600 home every month from my €1200 salary. When I joined I started on a salary of €850 and I'm glad I had the opportunity to increase my income because I was always willing to learn and improve," said Mateo Jr. Vilar.
Against With Romanian drivers leaving in droves for countries with much more attractive salaries, the transport market is currently going through a major crisis, Some 3,000 Filipinos have already been recruited from the Work from Asia agency alone, who meet the specific requirements and hold EU and Schengen-zone compatible driving licenses.
