Specific Benefits

• The system fights fraud by cross-checking license applications against multiple databases housing trucking data, making it harder for any single agency to falsify information

• The transparency has given Macedonian truck owners confidence to update their fleets by hundreds of new vehicles per year, whereas before they bought just tens of new trucks annually

• Since 2007, the entire process of license distribution has been online

“Truck owners had little idea how to use fax machines,

much less computers, he said. During the system's first

year, truckers submitted paper forms for electronic

processing. But since 2007, the entire process has been

online. We trust the system - we trust the computer,
