Title: British government pledges to help reduce truck driver shortage
Post by: SydneyRover on September 13, 2021, 11:29:48 am

How did that go?

''The U.K. faces a shortfall of 45,000 to 60,000 truck drivers, according to the Freight Transport Association, a British shipper group. At the worst, that’s nearly twice the number of additional truck drivers the American Trucking Associations says is currently needed to haul freight in the U.S., about 30,000 to 35,000, though other estimates run as high as 100,000 drivers''

And, according to a BBC report last week Poland has a worse shortage than we do and Germany is only very slightly behind us!
