I am a German trailer truck driver with 6 years experience. My Japanese is low, but I'd take private lessons if there was a way to get a chance there...Does anyone know if there's a visa program in Japan for truckers? I'd like to start a new adventure in the Tokyo area 🙇🏻♂️
Polish truck driver here with a little more experience with trailers. I was thinking the same thing and due to my contacts in Japan I could at least ask if they would hire me. At first possiblity to find a company brave enough to hire Gaijin is pretty low even with N3 certificate and back then 5 years of experience. It's not impossible but very hard to find a job. I was even asking for distribution on small trucks. I was ready to move there, make my driving license but the answers were no. I don't say it's impossible but the chances are very low. Ok maybe for a German it will be easier due to how they see Germans but remember you are gaijin and not fluent in Japanese. Of course I wish you good luck and hope you can get what I am aiming for too. Remember to say if you'll get lucky and find a job as a truck driver in Japan.
You mentioned Hino is part of Toyota. But forgot to say that Fuso used to be part of Mitsubishi and is now owned by Mercedes. And "UD" is actually called Nissan Diesel and is owned by Isuzu. You sure based that info on the English wikipedia. This looks like one of those channels where people talk about things they have no idea about just to make money on monetization. Meh. Thumb down. Bye.
loved my ud 1800 that could also be IHI 1800 baged with a manual fuel cable my hino every 3rd time youd touch brakes it would go uuuueeeehhhhh like dumb and dumbers most annoying sound ever heard and my mitsubishi fuso slowest truck ever
The video tells a lot about the road transport in Japan, yet nothing about the truck driver's working life exept the average income and the average monthly working time. You do learn nothing about traffic jams, truck stops, store house managers, loading and unloading duties, fuel stations and so on, thus the title is a clickbait.
I won't be interested working as a truck driver in Japan because the pay scale is very low. Only $33,000 USD a year. I earn $80,000 USD as a truck driver here in Canada 🇨🇦.
In South Africa our long distance trucks are all the standard Euro Spec Cab over trucks like Scania, Volvo, Mercedes, MAN, DAF etc... But our trucks inside the cities to move stuff around the city are these ones especially the Hino and UD which are very common
Here in Australia the American brands dominate the big trucking market, you know brands like Kenworth, MAC and ok a few Volvos. But small to mid sized are dominated by the Japanese brands, Fuso, UD, Mitsubishi, Hino.
Those decorated trucks remind me of the trucks in Colombia 🇨🇴 with hundreds of LED lights, and ultra bright brake lights that temporarily blind you on dark backroads
You mentioned that Hino is part of Toyota Motor, but failed to mention that Fuso is now part of Mercedes Benz Trucks and UD and Isuzu are part of the Volvo Truck group.
Well you incorrectly mentioned that Isuzu is part of Volvo truck group which it is not. Isuzu is just the owner of UD and was once with General Motors. From what I see Volvo is on its own entity and likely owns a small percentage but can't see anything to back up your claim that they're part of Isuzu.
@@savedemperor8024 no, its not... if you dont want a big house and a fancy lifestyle, living is quite cheaper than NY or LA or London even in Tokyo (city not suburbs) a very small but complete apparment (without roomates) cost like 600$ per month.
Go to Vietnam - there are lacking regulations on the national highway for trucking industries. The truckers' killer motorbikes more than the war in Vietnam before 1975.
When I think of dekotora I also think of many trucks in India and Pakistan but when it comes to alcohol limits specific to truckers I think of the US Government-mandated BAC of under 0.04 (but with penalties for drivers with any detectable amount of BAC under 0.04 if breath-tested by police).
US CDL holders are limited to a BAC of .04 even in their personal vehicles as well. On top of that a CDL can be lost if you're caught going more than 15MPH over the limit. There are a bunch of other little things that they can nail you on with a CDL that they don't bother with a regular license such as infractions staying on a database for life, which started recently, and basically in any accident, even when it's obviously not your fault, they blame you first although you are considered a "professional driver" because they think everyone is clairvoyant and can predict that some dipshit staring at their phone was going to decide to use your vehicle for brakes instead while you're sitting in traffic or a red light. (Edit: forgot to state that it's US CDLs)
@@roachymart2318 Penalties are strict for holders of CDLs issued by any US state or DC. I dunno if a CDL issued by the DMV of Guam, Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), American Samoa, Puerto Rico or the USVI can be exchanged for a CDL issued by DC or an American state, with a Quora question on that subject ("Hey I really need help with finding out if a Puerto Rico CDL (class 8 Heavy) is recognized by the DOT on the mainland?") having featured differing answers. A British Government website, however, DOES mention, for exchanging of bus and heavy truck (HGV) licences, that those those from the British Isles, Gibraltar, Switzerland and other European Union member states are accepted. Anyone looking to exchange a CDL issued by another jurisdiction, even if another British overseas dependency such as the Virgin Islands or Montserrat, will @ best get licences to drive vehicles with gross weight ratings of @ most 3500 kg (7700 lbs). I rented via Zipcar a Honda CR-V SUV. Whether it was a 3rd- or 4th-generation model, the highest GVWR I could find on the Four Wheel Trends website was 4453 lbs (2020 kg). I can't think of a vehicle with a higher GVWR rating than 2020 kg I've ever driven, and I dunno how soon I will drive a vehicle with anywhere near a GVWR of 2000 kg.
I'd love a new zealand video. They are placed pretty remote in Pacific but they have every single truck brand from around the world. NZ is a paradise for cars/trucks enthusiasts
As an American, I'm very jealous of the NZ (and Australian) car market. You guys get literally everything from every manufacturer. As a JDM fan of course you guys get or can easily import pretty much any Japanese car you want. Ford and GM Australia with the Falcon, Holden Commodore Maloo, etc. are super cool. Additionally, manufacturers which only sell very specific models to the American market sell you guys both US market cars and other-market cars as well so the variety of cars from every manufacturer is endless. And additionally manufacturers that don't have a market in the US such as Peugeot, Renault, Daihatsu all sell you guys cars. The variety and choice is endless. American safety standards are very strict and additionally, the US market is very picky about what it wants so car manufacturers give us very specific and limited models. And anytime they try to sell us something unique and different, we prove that idea right by not buying them (see wagons and hatchbacks) so they stop making it for us. Very jealous of your guys market.
I'm from Indonesia and here small detail about trucking in my country. In here truck drivers are called truck drivers or truckers. For semi trucks in my country use the same type as semi trucks in Europe and Japan. So there are many brands here, but the most commonly seen are Japanese brands like Fuso, Hino, UD, although there are also some like Volvo, Scania, MAN, Mercedes Benz and Renault Trucks. On average for the Scania and Mercedes Benz brand there are more buses than trucks. for the truck itself we call it a truck, because the designation of a tractor is a vehicle used by farmers to cultivate fields.
most of the semi trucks here have a bunk place in them but it's rare for the driver to stay in the truck, usually they just take a short nap or rest. Semi trucks in my country are used to transport loading containers. Most are trailers of the flat bed type or the low type for transporting special goods such as machinery or factory components. Because in my country there are many bends and roads up and down mountainous hills, it is rare to have a semi truck that uses the 8x4 arrangement most of them are 4x2 and 6x2.
Indo logistic budget is WORST in the world. Bad road, bad traffic, bribe money, corruption, collution, nepotism, bribe the DMV and cops to get driving license. 👎👎👎👎
The salary seems very low for such a pretty expensive country as Japan is, probably its quite challenging to live on the average living standard for truck drivers
Japan printing currency since the 90's and having the highest debt to GDP, thus indebting their nation, is the real reason why anyone working there has a hard time. Research Karoshi to learn more.
Frequently driving over the speed limit, pulling out of traffic without indicating, tail-gating cars in front of them, hogging the two outside lanes on highways, ignoring traffic lights, etc.. You've not see much of truck driving in Japan!
I am a filipino truck enthusiast and i total love japanese truck within thier styling and spec. They are looks better. And philippines one of the top importer of japanese for domestic market truck
"Japan is one of the worlds most densely populated and urbanised countries in the world" - that along with "Arch-ih-pallago" gives you away as a Martian :D
Wait up, you say here that Japan's land area is 88000 sq miles, but it says on multiple sources that it's around 145000 sq miles, maybe you mean land area that can be traveled by road?🤔
@@trentkeyser If you're under 30 a lot of countries have working holiday visa that's pretty easy to get. I applied to australia and haven't got it after 3 months so I applied to New Zealand and got it in 5 days. I read that Japan has a population decline problem and normally they would require japanese speaking skills but now are more welcoming to english speaking immigrants. Maybe Japan has a working holiday visa.
I’m an ex truckie from New Zealand, living in Japan. I have my Japanese drivers license for car, truck/trailer. I would like to drive trucks in Japan but my Japanese level isn’t good enough. One job I applied for was to deliver from a big distribution to drug stores are the prefecture at night and the truck company was worried that I may have problem with communication
@@misterspeed118 In the case of Japan, an ordinary car license must be at least 21 years old and have been held for at least 3 years. In my case, I went to a driving school and got my license in 7 months.
The Japanese government has a deal with certain country’s where we can just change our licenses over to Japanese ones without doing the driving school, long waiting times. In my case, all i had to do was book an appointment, go to the license office, do and eyesight test, hearing test watch a video and pay a fee. But, with the eye test, for commercial drivers, we have to look into a box, there are three vertical lines, the middle line moves back and forth, what you have to do is press a button on the side of the box when the middle line matches the Sam level and the side lines, but its not as easy as it sounds.
I’m a 22 year old journeyman heavy duty mechanic from Canada and I was thinking of doing it in Japan but these trucks r all soo small and different compared to the American trucks in Canada and I would probabaly have to go to school in Japan to get a ticket and learn Japanese
aslong as they can drive professionally and safely, here in California they have a bad reputation sadly, not all but for *some being bad drivers like driving on the fast lane(far left lane), loaded going up hill at 45-50mph on 2nd or 3rd lane making traffic, cutting drivers off, going over double yellow lines to getting stuck doing random u turns on unleaveled roads.
Thailand transport trucks most popular on Isuzu Hino Mitsubishi Fuso and barely EU trucks such as Scania Volvo and Mercedes I didn't see Renault Thai's truck drivers have test their skills on the northern

In the late 90’s, Hino merged with Shania as you can see now, that both Scania and Hino look a like in body design.
