At the beginning of 2016, the social context of the TRM changed. The standard wages for drivers increased by +2.1% from 1 January 2016 (agreement of 3 November 2015). At the same time, employer contributions changed. The standard travel allowances were increased by +2.1% from 1 February 2016 (agreement of 7 January 2016).
These provisions generate significant inflation in TRM driving personnel costs, reaching +2.5 % for driver profiles tracked in the CNR indices. The impact of this increase on the overall cost price of a 40-tonne heavy goods vehicle is +0.9 %, whether for long-distance or regional transport.
