[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7770305, member: 2119"] I don’t quite understand this driver shortage. We have never seen anything other than British drivers collect and deliver stuff here. I haven’t heard of one retiring or leaving the industry over the last year. They are still working. None of the firms I deal with have lorries without drivers so what’s going on? There seems to be a shortage of veg pickers but from what I saw none who lived here was “forced” to go home. I know several German and Polish nationals who are still working here without a problem. Is it just that foreign workers aspirations have been raised by improved conditions back home so they don’t need to scivvy here or it isn’t so financially attractive due to a levelling up across the EU. And covid hasn’t helped. [/QUOTE]
