SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - December 21, 2018 - This Christmas, Haulio launchedits inaugural Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) event to show appreciation forcontainer truck drivers in Singapore. Despite forming the backbone ofSingapore's supply chain industry, truck drivers are often overlooked andunder-appreciated. Working around the clock in order to ensure containerisedgoods reach their destinations on time, it is a lonely and thankless job thatoften goes unnoticed.

The recent unfortunate accident involving anoverturned container and passenger car along PIE further highlights the dangersand risks their jobs entail.
