Supplementary data for the paper 'Exploring the challenges faced by Dutch truck drivers in the era of technological advancement'

<strong>Introduction:</strong> Despite their important role in the economy, truck drivers face several challenges, including adapting to advancing technology. The current study investigated the occupational experiences of Dutch truck drivers to detect common patterns.<strong> Methods: </strong>A questionnaire was distributed to professional drivers in order to collect data on public image, traffic safety, work pressure, transport crime, driver shortage, and sector improvements. <strong>Results: </strong>The findings based on 3708 respondents revealed a general dissatisfaction with the image of the industry and reluctance to recommend the profession. A factor analysis of the questionnaire items identified two primary factors: 'Work Pressure', more common among national drivers, and 'Safety &amp; Security Concerns', more common among international drivers. A ChatGPT-assisted analysis of textbox comments indicated that vehicle technology received mixed feedback, with praise for safety and fuel-efficiency improvements, but concerns about reliability and intrusiveness. <strong>Discussion: </strong>In conclusion, Dutch professional truck drivers indicate a need for industry improvements. While the work pressure for truck drivers in general may not be high relative to certain other occupational groups, truck drivers appear to face a deficit of support and respect.

【引言：】尽管卡车司机群体在经济发展中发挥着重要作用，但他们仍面临诸多挑战，其中包括适配不断进步的先进技术。本研究针对荷兰职业卡车司机的职业体验展开调研，以探寻其共性模式。【研究方法：】本研究通过向专业卡车司机发放问卷的方式，收集了关于行业公众形象、交通安全、工作压力、运输犯罪、司机短缺以及行业改进方向的相关数据。【研究结果：】基于3708名受访者的调研数据，本研究发现受访者普遍对该行业的形象存在不满情绪，且不愿向他人推荐这一职业。对问卷条目进行因子分析后，提取出两个核心因子：其一为「工作压力」，在国内运输司机中更为普遍；其二为「安全与安保顾虑」，在国际运输司机中更为常见。借助ChatGPT (ChatGPT)辅助分析开放式文本评论后可知，车辆技术的反馈呈现褒贬不一的态势：业内对其安全性能与燃油效率提升表示认可，但同时担忧其可靠性与过度侵入性。【讨论：】综上，荷兰职业卡车司机认为行业亟需改进。尽管相较于部分其他职业群体，卡车司机整体面临的工作压力并不算高，但他们普遍面临支持不足与尊重缺失的困境。
