Is that really true? Truck driver is a recognized trade in Germany, and the number of apprenticeships continues to rise: https://www.eurotransport.de/artikel/bkf-azubis-und-eu-beruf...

I did exaggerate and the problem is also not so simple: https://www.timocom.de/blog/personalmangel-bei-lkw-fahrern
tl;dr: Nobody wants to become a truck driver anymore, even with improving salaries. Higher qualifications and better working conditions might solve the problem in the future.
In the meantime we still need drivers from eastern europe.
