Transportation is an important job that supports society by delivering necessary items to those who need them. No matter how much the internet or artificial intelligence develops, we can lead a comfortable life because someone is delivering goods to us properly.
Our company mainly transports export and import goods using sea container trailers and trucks from Yokohama and Tokyo ports. Ports may have a rough image, but our company places emphasis on compliance and prioritizes driver safety and health. We offer stable salaries and create a workplace where employees can work with peace of mind for a long time. Your families can also feel secure. We also have a friendly work environment where honest people can work comfortably. We want to continue to value this company culture in the future.

I joined the company as a driver and have stepped up to a management position, now overseeing the entire team.
I joined the transportation department as a driver and now it's been a quarter century since then.
Looking back, I improved my skills from driving 4-ton trucks to 10-ton trucks, trailers, and then became responsible for vehicle dispatch as a generalist employee. I have been able to do my job thanks to the support of my superiors, colleagues, and people around me, and I am grateful for that. I really think that our company is blessed with talented people. Currently, as a manager, I keep an eye on the entire section and perform follow-up duties as an all-rounder, and I am conscious of being able to respond quickly to sudden absences and other issues.
Schedule adjustments are also an important part of maintaining a driver-friendly workplace. As the number of licensed drivers continues to decrease, particularly among young people, and the use of AI-assisted self-driving technology becomes more prevalent, it is anticipated that the transportation industry will undergo significant changes in the coming years. However, overcoming the challenges involved in the delicate driving skills required for maritime container transport and port operations is not as simple. I believe that the occupation of maritime container driver will continue to be necessary in the future. I encourage young people who can work with us as essential workers, as well as those who are inexperienced but eager to learn, to apply for our company.

I am committed to ensuring a safe and comfortable working environment for everyone, primarily by managing detailed day-to-day data such as sales and attendance records.
I work in the transportation department where the drivers are the main players. As a management position, I am responsible for providing behind-the-scenes support in various aspects to ensure that everyone can work in a safe and comfortable environment. In addition to managing attendance, billing and sales status, and cost control, I also sometimes handle the task of arranging truck transportation. I consider the size of the truck and the weight of the cargo while thinking about loading and delivery routes. Thanks to my job, I have a good sense of distance all over the country (laughs). Looking back, I have experienced several turning points in my life while working at DAIDO. Even after getting married, I continued to work, took maternity leave for a year, and then spent the following years trying to balance work and family. Although I was anxious when I returned to work, the company and my bosses supported me and helped me find the best way to work. I also cannot forget the support of my colleagues who worked with me. From such experiences, I try to be on the support side now and repay my gratitude. Our company has a wide range of generations actively working, and it is a very lively company. If you are interested, why not work with us?

I think our company is one that encourages employees to cooperate with each other and is also friendly to women who can balance work and child-rearing.
As a generalist employee in the transportation department, my main responsibility is to handle daily ordering and receiving tasks.
The more I do it, the more I find it deep and sometimes challenging, but I can enjoy doing it. In terms of the atmosphere of the workplace, I think it is a bright and cooperative workplace with a good balance between intense work hours and relaxed break times. My workplace is at the Daikoku center, so I don't have many opportunities to meet people from related departments such as the head office or the Tokyo sales office on a regular basis, but we work together well through phone calls and internal company messaging. In recent years, due to the spread of the COVID-19, we have refrained from holding regular gatherings to interact with all employees. However, as the situation has improved, we have resumed hosting events such as welcome parties and networking events with customers on occasion. Our company has the flexibility to incorporate telework, which is difficult in the industry, and has a good understanding of women who balance work and child-rearing, making it a very friendly company for women.

This company is supportive of achieving a work-life balance and is also considerate of employees with children, making it a family-friendly workplace.
I have been working as a driver for maritime containers for 27 years. I always keep in mind that I represent the company and prioritize safe driving and courteous service to our customers. The best part of our company, then and now, is our people, and I believe they are our greatest asset. Our company has a solid attendance management system in place, and we offer paid leave, summer vacation, bereavement leave, and other benefits that are not always easy to obtain in the driver industry. As a result, I have been able to participate in my children's events and other important occasions. Such well-established welfare benefits create a positive cycle and allow us to focus on our work. Even if you are a novice, you are welcome as long as you are motivated, regardless of age. Our experienced drivers will provide guidance and support, so let's work together in a fun and enjoyable environment.
It is a comfortable environment where it is easy to communicate with other departments.
I have been working for Daido as a driver for 24 years, mainly transporting sea containers. I always keep in mind that it is my responsibility to safely deliver the valuable cargo entrusted to us by our customers, and make sure that no accidents occur. In addition to safe transportation, I also prioritize delivering the cargo quickly. One of the attractive features of our company is that we have all the necessary departments in-house, such as the warehouse and the handling division for customs clearance. I think it is a company where you can work for a long time with peace of mind because it is easy to communicate not only with fellow drivers but also with employees in other departments. If any problems arise, they will listen to you and provide support.
I work closely with the dispatch team and place great importance on sharing information with those around me.
I have been working as a sea container driver at DAIDO for 5 years.
Our clients come from various industries and we handle different types of cargo every day including food items. Safe driving is a top priority, but we also make sure to keep our trucks clean at all times, so that we can always present ourselves in a professional manner.
I am better at playing a supportive role in the team rather than taking the lead and demonstrating leadership skills.
When communicating with the dispatchers via radio, I try to anticipate their needs and act quickly, and I also value sharing information with other drivers. In my previous job at a sea container transport company, I often came home late and rarely had time to eat dinner with my family. However, since joining DAIDO, where time management is well-regulated, I have been able to have family meals almost every day, and have been able to enjoy fulfilling days. DAIDO is also attractive because it is easy to take paid leave and is a great place to work.
I have reached my 35th year in a friendly workplace completely free from power harassment and emotional abuse.
As a driver of maritime containers, I transport various containers daily to the designated locations or warehouses of our customers.
One of the most memorable jobs I have had was transporting relief supplies and temporary housing to the disaster-stricken areas shortly after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. We passed through areas near the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and I remember feeling nervous about radiation exposure while driving, especially since information was scarce at the time. I have been with this company for 35 years now, and from the beginning, my seniors were kind and there has never been any power harassment and emotional abuse. It is a very friendly workplace. I hope to continue working safely and accident-free until my retirement.
