To Survive the “2024 Problem”. Taiyo Kosan is entering the warehousing business with a “hybrid warehouse-type operating warehouse! ｜Interview with Taiyo Kosan Co.

The so-called “2024 problem” is that drivers will no longer be able to engage in long-distance transportation as they have in the past due to the cap on working hours imposed by the Workplace Reform Bill. The inability to transport goods over long distances will lead to a decline in sales for the logistics and transportation industry as a whole, as well as a decrease in driver income. On the other hand, logistics volume is increasing, so efficient transportation and reforms to realize it will be essential in the future. Taiyo Kosan, which has been operating a transportation business for 20 years in Nishi-Shirakawa-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, is one company that is working to solve the “2024 problem” by constructing a new “hybrid warehouse-type business warehouse” and starting a warehousing business. We interviewed Representative Director Kyokuyama and Advisor Kanno about how they came to this decision and their current situation.

Thank you, President Kyokuyama and Advisor Kanno.
