Japan Post may lose cargo license over widespread driver check failures

Japan Post may face losing its general cargo vehicle license after the transport ministry reportedly decided to revoke it due to widespread issues with mandatory sobriety checks for drivers. The move would mark a harsh penalty under new regulations requiring such tests before and after work shifts, effectively making reapplication impossible for five years. If implemented, this decision could permanently affect roughly 2,500 trucks and one-box vans used nationwide by post offices.
