[QUOTE="TheTallGuy, post: 7774548, member: 9121"] It has been building up over time, in reality the "shortage" in tanker drivers is that under normal conditions there's just enough, but with a slew of covid isolations and drivers being tempted away from tanker work with promises of better pay in general haulage etc., the cover became too thin and a few filling stations ran dry. The media reported the dry stations and triggered public panic. Now, if I was of a cynical mindset I might suggest that the cluster of dry forecourts might well have been engineered and the media tipped off in order to trigger a crisis that the government would respond to by allowing EU drivers back & thus suppress the pay that has been attracting drivers away from certain tanker firms...
