Park Your Truck Introduces 4-Day Workweek and Achieves Record-Breaking Year

Park Your Truck has taken a pioneering step toward a modern and people-focused work culture by introducing a 4-day workweek across the entire company. The logistics service provider, known for its nationwide and European network of truck parking and charging infrastructure, is one of the few companies in the industry to implement this model for all employees. The results speak for themselves.

In the first year following the introduction, Park Your Truck recorded the most successful financial year in its history. Alongside record revenues, employee motivation, satisfaction and retention increased significantly. At the same time, absenteeism decreased and productivity rose, as teams reported greater focus and efficiency within the shortened workweek.

A Cultural Shift with Strategic Intent

“For us, the 4-day workweek is not a trend but a deliberate step toward sustainable corporate leadership,” says CEO Denise Schuster. “Our industry demands a great deal from its people. We want to create structures that enable recovery while fostering innovation. Time and mental clarity are essential for creative and strategic thinking.”

Approximately 95 percent of Park Your Truck’s workforce consists of highly experienced professionals over the age of 50. Their expertise is one of the company’s greatest strengths, but it also calls for working models that support long-term health and high performance. The traditional 5-day structure left little room for meaningful recovery. By offering an additional day off, the company enables its teams to recharge, invest in personal development or spend more time with their families. It also gives the leadership team the space needed to develop new ideas and shape long-term strategies — a key factor in ensuring future competitiveness.

More Focus, Higher Productivity and a Clear Competitive Advantage

Employee feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Many report more efficient workflows, sharper concentration and a significantly improved work-life balance. Many describe the 4-day workweek as an ongoing source of motivation, with several noting that they achieve the same workload in four days that they once completed in five.

The shift has also strengthened Park Your Truck’s position in the talent market. The 4-day workweek has attracted qualified professionals who would not have considered moving under traditional working conditions. In a highly competitive labor market, the model has become a clear competitive advantage.

A Model for the Future of the Logistics Industry

Park Your Truck is sending a strong message to the industry: modern work structures are not only compatible with business success — they can actively drive it.

“We want to demonstrate that quality, reliability and forward-looking leadership can go hand in hand with a culture that puts people first,” Schuster explains. “The 4-day workweek is a central pillar of this vision, and we are committed to continuing on this path.”
