Dilapidated Fleet Main Challenge Facing Trucking Industry

Critical issues facing private sector players of trucking industry are mostly structural and existed even before the outbreak of Covid-19. 
According to Iranian entrepreneur Fatemeh Moqimi, the new coronavirus crisis did harm trade after the closure of borders and decrease in goods transportation by trucks, but it pales in comparison with other problems that beset the industry.
“These issues are divided into two groups: domestic and foreign. International challenges have emerged in the aftermath of the new coronavirus. They have affected other countries as well. However, domestic problems are the industry’s decades-long legacy; they have gone unheeded and unsolved and it seems that so far, there has been no desire to deal with them,” she was quoted as saying by the news portal of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development.
