I heard Ash excusing Arla for short delivering customers milk due to driver shortages. Prehaps owners should be running an ‘Audit’ to see whether the Company is fit for purpose sorry ‘compliant’.

Non compliance, contingency plan doesn't include action in the event of staff sickness/shortages.

Arla are to offer a £2000 signing on bonus to drivers ... presumably for delivery drivers rather than collecting.

Could cause a bit of a ruck

I think the thread title is a bit misleading. Highly unlikely any s/markets will run out of milk (unless the publicity causes panic buying) as they generally have a couple of days stock. Orders are usually 50% up at the end of the week anyway, so over the seven days, things will even out.

There will be a catch somewhere, such as must stay for a year.
I wonder if they will look after existing drivers? You'd be a bit fed up if you'd been there for 20 years and some new hire was on more than you.
I think that's the problem at the moment, companies aren't doing enough to retain drivers and are fighting each other over new recruits.
It's a drivers market for a change, no bad thing.
