Geotab survey: in Italy, for 9 out of 10 commercial vehicle drivers, work-related stress negatively affects driving
Work-related stress has a negative impact on driving, according to over 9 out of 10 commercial vehicle drivers (and, in Italy, the figure is even slightly higher than the European average: 94% versus 91%). This is what emerges from the survey The Unseen Toll: Driver Stress and Road Safety – “The invisible toll: driver stress and road safety”, recently conducted at a pan-European level by Geotab, a global leader in connected vehicle solutions, presented on the occasion of Geotab Day 2025, taking place in Milan on May 27.
In April 2025, Geotab interviewed 3,501 commercial vehicle drivers in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. Among those interviewed, almost all (95%) believe that the risk of accidents has increased in the last five years, with 61% of them even considering the increase significant.
A look at Italy
Looking at the data by country, Italy holds a sad record in terms of dangerous driving habits found: distraction caused by cell phone use was in fact cited by 59% of respondents, against a European average of 42%. Other commonly observed problems, even in our country, were excessive speed by other vehicles (39%) and generally incorrect driving (37%), in addition to the presence of bicycles and electric scooters that do not respect traffic lights (35%).
Probably also due to the state of the road surface, Italian drivers also seem to fear uneven terrain more than average: a full 70% of respondents, against 64% of the European figure, are worried that a pothole could cause an accident or injury.
Finally, Italian truck drivers seem to be particularly aware of the importance of stress and mental health as key factors that contribute to the increase in road dangers (80%, compared to 70% of the average of other countries). In this context, over 4 out of 10 Italian drivers (44%) declare that they receive little or no support from their company regarding issues related to stress or mental health: despite this, only 34% have actually thought about leaving their job in the last year.
Using technology effectively
Contrary to what one might think, in Italy there has been a particular propensity to embrace innovation. Almost 8 out of 10 drivers (77%, compared to the European average of 69%, are in favor of adopting technologies aimed at improving driving performance. The results of the survey therefore clearly show the need to invest more in driver assistance, stress management and the promotion of a culture of safety.
Little attention to mental health
Increasing work pressures appear to actively contribute to stress. Half of the drivers interviewed admitted that they regularly feel the need to break the speed limit to complete their work on time. Things are a little better than average in Italy, where this situation was reported by “only” 39% of drivers – compared to a much higher average in Ireland (64%), the Netherlands (62%) and Germany (59%).
In addition, almost two-thirds of those interviewed (64%) said that excessive traffic or roadworks make it difficult to complete all deliveries: this challenge is particularly felt in Spain (78%), while the data for our country is in line with other European nations.
In a context of increasing work pressure, many drivers do not feel adequately supported by their company. In fact, about half of drivers (55% in Europe and 45% in Italy) do not feel comfortable turning to their employer for support in the event of stress and other mental health issues (this percentage rises to 66% in Ireland and 60% in Germany). Moreover, over a third of respondents (37%) state that their employer, for these types of issues, offers a low level of support or, even, none at all, particularly in Spain (50%) and France (48%).
The effects of accumulated tensions are evident: almost half of the interviewees (47%) have considered leaving their job in the last 12 months (with peaks of 66% in Ireland and 58% in the Netherlands). This comes at a time when there are already more than 200,000 unfilled trucking positions in Europe – a number that McKinsey predicts will rise to 745,000 by 2028.
“These findings are a reminder of the pressures that commercial vehicle drivers are under, impacting our roads and all of us. The European economy relies heavily on commercial transport, but stress is causing many to leave the industry, putting road safety at risk,” said Edward Kulperger, Senior Vice President, Geotab EMEA.
“Drivers face significant work-related stress, witness dangerous behaviors on a daily basis, and are often pressed for time; yet, many feel unsupported or uncomfortable seeking help. These challenges are not limited to Europe, as our recent survey of drivers in North America shows. With nearly half of drivers considering resigning – amid an already emerging driver shortage – it is critical for employers to provide better mental health support for their employees.”
“As an industry, we need to prioritize employee well-being, leveraging data and technology not only to drive efficiency, but also to proactively create safer, less stressful work environments. We need to make a real commitment to keeping roads safe and supply chains moving,” Kulperger added.
Addressing these challenges is critical for both driver well-being and fleet efficiency: prioritizing safety can reduce accidents, reduce insurance, repair and downtime costs. Implementing robust safety programs, supported by data collected through telematics and advanced AI models, enables proactive interventions. By identifying risks, promoting safer driving habits and monitoring well-being indicators, fleets can increase safety, improve productivity and achieve significant cost savings – leveraging technology that drivers are already ready to adopt.
The report is available here.

Logistics: interview with the General Secretary of TTS Italia on Uomini e Trasporti
A clear strategy for the technological up-grade of logistics. According to Olga Landolfi, General Secretary of TTS Italia, this is the gap that Italy should fill, indicating the direction to companies for the development of services. Yes, because also technologically speaking, even on the side of goods, services are the main objective, which must be developed and supported with innovation and data exchange.
Landolfi spoke about it during the recent interview given to “Uomini e Trasporti”.
This is why TTS Italia has signed an agreement with the Open Logistics Foundation which in Germany works precisely to build open models of technologies at the service of logistics. We need to change the way we design innovation: attention must also be directed here to the development of services supported by technology. We therefore arrive at the logic of MaaS applied to logistics.
The interview is available for subscribers to “Uomini e Trasporti” here.
