ZİNCİR MARKETLER BAKKALLARI BİTİRDİ, LOJİSTİK FİRMALARI DA BİZİ Mİ BİTİRİYOR?

Greetings from Reşadiye to all my friends! We're back on the road with another truck vlog. This week, I'm presenting you with an endless, challenging, yet incredibly heartfelt road trip from Iğdır to Istanbul. Along the way, we didn't just drive; we enjoyed nature, cooked our own cheesy eggs and döner kebab with rice in the truck, and ate traditional Turkish food, and I even bought a special Mother's Day gift for my mother! In the main part of the video, I addressed a very important question you've all asked: "Where is the logistics sector headed?" As someone who ran a neighborhood grocery store in my childhood, I used a very sincere analogy to describe the situation individual truckers and transporters face today against large logistics companies. Just as chain supermarkets destroyed neighborhood grocery stores, are large logistics companies also breaking the backs of us individual transporters? With diesel prices, freight costs, commissions, and earnings, I've laid out all the kilometers and fuel calculations I made when I landed in Istanbul. Let's see what's left from this challenging trip! In your opinion, how sensible is it to do individual truck driving under these conditions, and to buy a new vehicle for this sector? I'm very curious about your comments and thoughts on the calculations, please write them below!
