2025September

Hi, Hello.
Soon, the 71st term, which started in October last year, will be successfully completed.
It's not a year that will come soon, but there were a lot of dramas this season as well.
To be honest, I'm not very interested in talking about the past. The past is only the past.
Is my focus "Ima, this moment" and "bright future"?


I have put forward two policies for the president of the 72nd term.
1. Continue to provide safe and secure logistics services and aim to be a one-of-a-kind company
2. Be aware of your role and pride as an essential worker who supports society.
When I talk to my comrades in actual transportation companies, they say that it is impossible to have no traffic accidents (zero).
But even so, the goal must always be accident-free!
We will aim to be the only one-of-a-kind transportation company.

Truck companies are essential workers who "support the society of Ima from the foundation". It is an essential part of society, and in order to maintain people's lives and functions in society, its importance is made clearer in times of emergency. With a sense of mission renewed, we have established a policy with the hope that the people who work at our company will feel it.

From tomorrow, we will change our minds again and our 72nd term will begin. I would like to ask for your continued patronage in the future, and I would like to take this opportunity to say hello to my students.
Thank you very much.

As of today, the 71st term has ended.
Let's see you again with a smile after the 72nd term!

Representative Director Hayakawa Tomohiro

Hi, Hello.
The lingering heat is still continuing, but I am starting to feel cool.
The cooler has also been stopped for a lot of time.

Will the era of only summer and winter come in the near future?
If it's this hot, autumn may only be in November.

Some people said that Japan has four seasons, so it is good to have a taste, but I really agree.
Autumn has become shorter! However, autumn physical condition management is essential for winter production.

Autumn is becoming more likely to dry out all at once. It is also a time when it is easier to store various things in the body.
What happens if you accumulate it?
You can see the pattern of poor health such as colds and viruses becoming prevalent and raging.

The important thing is not to accumulate unnecessary things in your body during this period.Dischargingare.
There are three elements necessary for this:
1. Moisture
2. Dietary fiber
3. Ingredients in the soil (positive)
When the air dries out in autumn, the body naturally dries out more easily, and there is not enough moisture needed to flush unnecessary things from the body. Hydration is especially important.

In addition, dietary fiber entangles and excretes unnecessary things.

It is also a time when the temperature drops all at once and the body temperature drops, so in terms of attributes, there are positive foods that warm the body.
It will be especially effective.
The recommended ingredients are "carrots, burdock, and lotus root". Although it is a food below the ground, it is rich in dietary fiber and is a versatile vegetable with the power to excrete.
But I digress.

Soon, our 71st term is coming to an end, and at such a last-minute moment, the medium-sized truck "FORWARD" was delivered to the Tokyo headquarters.

It has become established as a familiar coloring for our company. The exquisite color is well received by the driver.

In a sense, we are carrying special products, so we display the "dangerous goods" mark.

The delivery ceremony was held without delay.
Thank you for your long-term relationship.
Praying for the safety of everything, I clapped my hands with "two bows, two applause, and one bow" and sent respect and blessings.

The machine and the body are allimportantIt is.

Hi, Hello.
9The month is a continuous holiday, and although I feel sluggish, I am realizing the speed of time passing.
Our fiscal year is closed in September, and the culmination of the year from October last year is the end of this month.

In the general company's articles of incorporation, "a regular general meeting of shareholders shall be convened within three months from the day after the last day of each fiscal year."
It has been decided, and even if the new 72nd term starts in October, the executives and managers will continue to stare at the numbers for about two months due to the confirmation of the company's numbers.

As I wrote in my blog the other day, after three years, the trucking industry may also switch from a license system to a permit system, and the conditions that must be cleared to obtain permission from the government have already been presented behind the scenes, so even from this 2025, those conditions must be cleared as a matter of course. If it is not always, you will not be able to see the future in 10 or 20 years from now. It is important to work on a daily basis.

The company's goal is to be a "100-year company".
I will verbalize it every time and put it into myself!
Digress

Last week, I focused on what to do and visit on the weekend.
From the completion ceremony of the logistics manager, the next day was the delivery ceremony at the Kuki sales office, and the next day was a visit to the International Logistics Exhibition 2025 at Tokyo Big Sight.


A new car has been delivered to the Kuki sales office.
Isuzu Motors' 4-ton truck "FORWARD"
Japan full half wing body
210horsepower, total weight of the vehicle is about 8,000 kg
Drive recorder (front indoor)
Automatic Car Short Cab
Equipped with a rear-eye camera
Rearwith air suspension control switch
Safety assistance equipment using millimeter-wave radar (collision warning, etc.)

Comfort is comparable to that of ordinary cars.
The machine is also advancing day by day! It is evolving.

I hope that the pilots who handle it will deepen their knowledge about the machine they ride and make full use of it
Thank you. If you love the machine, it will definitely show maximum performance while protecting the pilot.

Even with inorganic machines, trust is important.
Best regards.

By the way, I visited the International Logistics Exhibition held at Tokyo Big Sight on Friday of the weekend, and made an appointment before visiting.
I have deepened my observations and hearings as well as meetings.
The photo booth promotes the introduction of specifications as standard on our trucks
This is the digital octopus introduction booth of "CENTLESS".

After all, the purpose is the hottest topic in the transportation industry
"Automation of pre-work roll call"

The photo shows a sample of a robot roll call, but this is not an automatic roll call.

Automatic roll call before work is a certification system of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, which began to be approved by some manufacturers last month in August 2025.
It is a certified system to flexibly respond to the serious labor shortage in the transportation industry, and it is a system certified by legal as a system that can automatically implement roll calls, which have been the norm until now, to transportation companies that meet the requirements for introduction with machines.
It simply means that "face-to-face roll call" is automatic.
However, since it is a roll call in daily work, the situation changes every day depending on the physical condition of the pilot on a daily basis.
〇When alcohol is detected
〇 When abnormalities are found in physical condition

Don't get me wrong, but "Auto = Round ThrowTherefore, the final decision must be made by the manager and the operation manager (operator).
I think there are pros and cons to its introduction, but I think it is the best way to solve the problems of the Ima industry. We would like to accelerate the introduction and promote DX in transportation and logistics.

Hi, Hello.

Yesterday, thanks to you, I was certified by the Truck Association to become a leading human resource in the new logistics era.
I have completed all the qualification courses as a "logistics manager".

〇Soaring fuel costs
〇 Serious driver shortage (young recruitment)
〇Structural changes in distribution
〇 Accelerating IT Introduction DX Transformation

There is no doubt that it was a qualification course that allowed me to acquire various skills to overcome the new era of human resource development and logistics in order to respond to the major changes in the transportation industry that are happening.

From the certification number, there are currently about 2,400 elite people nationwide who are active in society as logistics managers.
Acquisition is not the goal, but the start from here.
3As a great value,
(1) Information on logistics and up-to-date knowledge
(2) Building a network with other companies in the same industry
And the third is as a managertitleI got it.

We held a launch party at the end.
25Each of the managers had a short speech.
I was impressed, saying, "Oh, everyone is really dignified and wonderful."
Everyone was full of confidence.

After all, it was a graduation ceremony that made me feel once again that I had learned until my life was XX, and that I was learning even after 〇.
Everyone in the Track Association, all the lecturers, and all the elites who have deepened their learning,
Thank you very much for the relationship.
I just hope that we can grow and succeed together.

Hi, Hello.
I suddenly realized that there was only one month left in our company's 71st term.
There are many things this term, and if I write an essay, I may be able to write a book. (Laughter)

An ordinary day is not a day.
It's not like comparing myself to others, it's calm. . .
"Did you live a better life than you did yesterday?"
"I was able to lift 1 kg heavier than yesterday (muscle training)"
"I was able to smile one more time than I was yesterday!"

Always compare with myself, whether I was able to grow is my boom in my eyes.
Compared to others, I graduated at a young age.

Above all, if you do that every time you meet someone, you won't have your body and mind.
Face yourself first.

As I get older, I feel that I am the most "incomprehensible".questIt's worth it.
But I digress.

Question to all of you...
"How do you feel about your work every day?"
Is work something you have no choice but to do for your living? If so, the repetitive tasks every day may be painful.
However, depending on how the person has consciousness, the way they perceive and think will change greatly.
"I see it as my job to be useful to others."
How can the information and experience you gain be useful to others and those involved? If you understand the meaning of the work and the results it brings, the work you are forced to doMy workYou can feel the change to (mission).
By being willing to work on your own, you will also be able to come up with your own ideas and improvements. It is also important to share thoughts and ideas within the organization and team.
Value of workTo understand, to be convinced, and to play that role. Isn't it my job to devise and take on challenges?
If humans continue to work monotonously for a long time, they will be hesitant to take a new step for fear of failure or will not have the heart to take on challenges. You will feel depressed forever or blame others.

"To grow, you need to take on challenges, and with challenges come failures."
How to learn something from failure...
・Honest (sincere) heart
・You need to have a positive mind.
As you work, you learn something from your experience, step up (grow), and use it as a material for your next challenge.
I feel that it takes courage to take on new challenges at the end of the day, and that friends and family (environment) who support them are also important.

Even if you tell someone to "Let's take on a challenge!", others will not move.
The reason why Japan exists is because of our ancestors (ancestors) and as I said in my past blog, it is nothing more than because those who saw my ancestors gained courage and worked hard.

It seems that the best secret for parents is to show their children their backs and let them learn.
I am convinced that my efforts will surely have a positive impact on someone.
"Useful to others" means that person'sPresenceI think it's safe to say.

In the truck industry, we make a big difference by protecting safety.
9For 10 days from the 21st of the month to the 30th, the annual "Autumn National Safety Campaign" will be carried out.
The transportation industry protects people (children, pedestrians, the elderly, and cyclists) by obeying traffic rules. I am proud that it is indirectly useful to the world.

I feel that the public perception of truck drivers is still harsh.
When a traffic accident is covered in the news, the truck stands out and is taken aback.
Even if there is a truck pilot who goes to the rescue, the truck company with the name of the transportation company parked there may be blamed.
As a truck pilot, we need to change the mindset of all crew members.
Isn't it necessary to be prepared to "change the consciousness of the people!"
It is also necessary to change the awareness of all transportation companies involved in this.

"Safe operation" is the greatest responsibility of the trucking industry.
Those who are not prepared for that seem to be tough, but they are not qualified to ride the truck.
Let's show our backs to the younger generation of Ima!

Hi, Hello.
Are you tired of summer?
If the weather continues to be so hot, it is really not easy to maintain physical condition.

Enough sleep and moderation recommended by me? Exercise (muscle training), and finally three meals with nutrition in mind.
9Even in the beginning of the month, the lingering heat is still severe, but I would like to continue to maintain my body that does not lose.

We will share information from dealers we are dealing with.
A newNewIt is about.

Act on Truck Business Optimization (so-called "New Truck Law")
The main points are as follows.

A: Impose an obligation to make efforts to limit subcontracting (transportation by use) from the main contractor to the second contractor.
B: Prohibition of consignment to unauthorized companies such as white trucks with penalties
(It is a truck with a white license plate, a private car. By the way, commercial trucks have green numbers, and they are trucks that earn fares by carrying luggage requested as a transportation business. It is illegal for white trucks to carry cargo for a fee. ）
C: Introduction of a five-year permit renewal system for general freight vehicle transportation business (bus companies already have a permit system from 2023)
D: The Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism establishes a new "appropriate cost" and prohibits fares and charges below the appropriate cost
E: Mandatory payment of appropriate wages and ensuring appropriate treatment according to the driver's ability, etc.

As for A and I,Within one year after the announcement on June 11, Reiwa 7Enforced to
As for U, E, and O,Within 3 years after the announcement on June 11, Reiwa 7It is scheduled to be enforced

Main matters to be checked for the truck industry's permit renewal system (previously the license system)
1.Are corrective measures properly taken and continued in response to past administrative sanctions and appropriateness guidance?
2.Are business performance reports and business overview reports accurately written and submitted every year?
3.Are laws and regulations such as working hours and improvement standards properly followed?
4.Is there any non-payment of social insurance, failure to undergo medical examinations, etc., and is there any violation of the minimum wage or extra wages?
5.Are you improving your treatment, such as raising wages and increasing holidays and vacations?
6.Are you insolvent or in the red every year (3 consecutive years of deficit will not be allowed)

If you do not clear the above six items, you will not be allowed to carry out transportation operations.

It is said that there are currently about 63,000 transportation companies in Japan.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has made serious efforts to improve the transportation industry! That's what it means.

I think you can see the composition that transportation companies that are doing their business activities well will remain.
We have analyzed that the final goal is 2028, three years from now, but in any case, our company will continue to operate as before.

・Promote the promotion of welfare benefits through all-member management and pursue appropriate profits.
・Continue to work to expand organizational capabilities with the belief in improving safety and quality
・Creation of value and pursuit of services

The above is the management philosophy of Tokai Distribution since its founding.
