Kuljettajan palkka

Heavy vehicle drivers, bus drivers, and taxi drivers form a broad professional category covered by the AKT collective agreement. The CE driving licence is required for heavy vehicles and carries a clear pay premium. An EU-wide driver shortage has strengthened the bargaining position of Finnish drivers in recent years.

The Kouvola–Vuosaari logistics corridor employs hundreds of drivers, and e-commerce growth sustains freight demand. Bus driving for operators such as Onnibus, Nobina, and Transdev is a major employment pathway.
