Even if we can get 50,000 drivers through their tests it’s not the end of the problem. There’s individual load requirements to be considered.
Boris made a sensible decision yesterday with the visa change. This will hopefully buy us the time we need.
Imho This isn’t a pay issue, it’s a conditions issue. Conditions aren’t about to change due to the nature of the role. |
It is not leaving the EU issue, why pumps across the country are running dry. It’s a media snow balling a minor issue into panic frenzy. I know you Remainers like to bang this drum all too often. But a HGV driver problem, is Europe wide issue and crucially, it is a pay issue.
