How long do your drivers wait per week on average?

Waiting time is also an issue in Europe. In a survey conducted by Vehco, a fleet management solution provider, more than half of the carriers surveyed (53%) reported their drivers wait 3 or more hours per week on average (based on a 40-hour week), with 22% saying their drivers wait more than 5 hours per week. According to one carrier quoted in the paper:

 “If we did not have any waiting times at all, we would save about 10,000€ each month.”
