company. The interviewees referred to their knowledge and its practical use in everyday work. The
interviewees responded anonymously and voluntarily to the questions asked in the survey. These were
persons of the age of 21 to 65 years old. 47% of all interviewees executed only national transports,
whereas international transports were executed by 33% drivers. The interviewees included persons with
basic, vocational, secondary and higher education. Most of them were persons with large occupational
experience, working as a professional driver longer than 5 years, no persons with occupational
experience between 11 to 19 years. The paper includes the specification of the survey methodology
