Says Monal Sachdeva, CEO, Novalife: “Every time I visited Europe, I thought why Indian drivers – who are highly skilled, experienced, hardworking and already successfully working as truck drivers in Western countries or GCC countries – are not employed or paid better than… that”. working conditions.
After years of research and data analysis, overcoming complexities, and constant attempts to convince reputable European companies, I can now say with confidence and pride that we have laid the foundation upon which we built the bridge to make the dream a reality.

Novalife vs. industrial challenges
Trucking companies must adhere to many federal and state regulations, such as hours of service (HOS) rules, drug testing requirements, and safety standards. Ensuring drivers meet these requirements can be a complex and time-consuming process. Novalife carefully screens each applicant, ensuring they have all required documentation, are trained in safety standards, and undergo all required drug tests for the country in which they will be placed.
The trucking industry often experiences high attrition rates due to factors such as long work hours, time away from home, and demanding schedules. Recruiting and retaining drivers is an ongoing challenge for many companies. Novalife makes sure that all its applicants are aware of the requirements and are willing to work hard to develop their talents. The recruitment agency also provides ongoing support and guarantees a successor in case the candidate decides to resign.
Advances in technology, such as electronic logging devices (ELDs) and telematics systems, have created new challenges for both drivers and staffing companies. Adapting to these technologies and ensuring compliance can be an obstacle. Only knowledgeable, talented and skilled truck drivers who are confident enough to take the responsibility of learning new things quickly are employed by Novalife.
Finding drivers who are not only qualified, but also well-trained can be a challenge. Many trucking companies prefer drivers with specialized certifications, which may limit the pool of available candidates. For the right client or company, Novalife carefully filters the right applicant according to the laws of the country and, more specifically, the employers’ job descriptions.
As older drivers retire, staffing companies must adapt to the changing demographics of the industry. Attracting younger drivers and meeting the needs of a more diverse workforce can be difficult. Novalife ensures that its customers’ requirements are met in this regard as well. They place a lot of emphasis on selecting young, active, medically capable and highly motivated applicants.
Environmental regulations, such as emissions standards and green transportation initiatives, have forced hiring companies to find drivers with knowledge of environmentally friendly technologies and practices. Novalife recognizes that hiring people with knowledge of sustainability and environmental awareness can support a company’s efforts to reduce its environmental footprint and promote ethical business practices; Therefore, they select candidates who have knowledge of environmentally friendly technologies and practices.
In addition, Novalife has a database containing information about potential applicants working in Europe. Truck drivers with at least two years of driving experience in Europe are included in the database.
We expand our services by regularly traveling to Europe to understand the root causes of clients and candidates’ problems. By gaining direct insights into the challenges businesses face, we can tailor our services to better meet their requirements.
