Since the mobility package has been introduced in Europe, working conditions for truck drivers are gradually being improved, as demands and complaints start being contained. Along with the benefits, more regulations add up. Many of the new regulations specify rigorous controls of transport documents in order to prove particular contexts. All these changes can become a burden of neatness, forcing an extra job for drivers that now also need to keep up-to-date self-organized, or it can be virtually unnoticeable, for the drivers that choose to work in our team at Nordstar and use Nordstar One – our digital solution for sustainable freight transport excellence.
Drivers are an important part of freight forwarding. Our aim is to facilitate better infrastructure and support for drivers, in order for them to give their best results. In our experience as transporters, we know that only good drivers who feel engaged and motivated are able to solve particular issues that inevitably appear along the road, manage unpredictability, and most importantly, offer real one-to-one support to other drivers. There’s a human network that serves human fluence and adds great value to any endeavour.
A driver is a link with skin in the game, putting into action their complete persona: their values, stress reactions, social skills. A good driver is also a great trader in terms of ease of access. For all these people we show our respect and support by providing safe contracts, good communication, quality tools and fees, technological tools and a tangible feeling of attachment to our network. As a driver, it’s easy to become a Nordstar.
What’s more, we provide drivers with a digital companion on the road, an enhancer and facilitator of their processes. A tool that eliminates those moments when you think to yourself you could have done better if you had more info, more time, more flair: Nordstar One.
For drivers, not finding GPS coordinates on the map (which happened frequently due to issues regarding different integration of maps) is a thing of the past with our smart, adaptive app that just correlates multiple data maps and live reports.
Fitting loads into trailers? A real struggle every driver and every planner knows. Nordstar One has this one covered as well, nice and easy. With all renders updated into the database for both contracted loads and vehicles, now drivers and planners can forget about hand measurements, starting over or having to leave some out. Done, perfect fit with Nordstar One, each and every time.

At Nordstar, we have clear rules, direction and forward drive at full speed. We’re looking for drivers who see rules and restrictions not as a burden, but helpful guide. Our drivers must own personal, complete sets of protection gear (vest, helmet, glasses, boots, gloves and headphones). With so many new and innovative materials, designs, functionalities for these “professional uniform” pieces, we warmly encourage each of our drivers to choose and personalize their gear accordingly.
Another request we have for our crew of drivers is for each of them to be comfortable using smartphones or tablets, particularly with the purpose of engaging with our dedicated app Nordstar One. Drivers must become familiar with our proprietary app for scanning and loading CMRs and more. Nordstar One is an essential part of our digital system that acts like a companion for on-the-road truck drivers. With only five clicks, the road gets easier for drivers with Nordstar One..
Digital tools, current evolution of infrastructure, pressure of real time events, all lead to a new era of freight-forwarding industry. Safe and respectable presence and behaviours, easy use of new tools, these are the new attributes of the XXIs century driver. The ambition and the love for the road are forever the same.
In order to prepare for the upcoming changes the mobility pack will bring, we also provide drivers with contracts for coming back home to Romania or Bulgaria with fully loaded trailers. Easing in with a new way of serving on the road, we aim to create better conditions for drivers and their families, considering their revenue needs while abiding by the new legislation.
