10 million job openings available in the U.S. right now, the shortage of truck drivers is causing problems in all sectors.............fancy being a trucker, come on over.!

There isn't a shortage of Truck drivers in the US, there's a shortage of good driving jobs. The large hauliers have a massive retention problem, although many are happy with that because they have their own training schools that are very profitable in their own right and while you have a trainee aboard you can pay them very low rates per mile.

CR England for example have a driver turnover rate of 150%, but they train so many new drivers that they often have 2 trainees and one trainer per truck.
In a recent article they said that to maintain a workforce of 6400 drivers, they need to - and do - train over 9000 people per year.
Why are all these people leaving? Many go on to other companies but a lot drop out altogether. Doesn't sound like a shortage to me.

I am confused.

Ok, so to work abroad in places like the USA, Canada or Australia, you would need an employer, or sponsor, to vouch for your work application/VISA. Now, obviously, unless you are skilled and have a workable command of English (or maybe French in Canada) an employer isn't going to do this.

Why do business owners assume that the UK should just accept anyone 'because we are short of labour'? It doesn't work that well mate. You've built a business model that relies on labour of this kind, not society at large. You can't get staff willing to work in the conditions you have created for the wage you have stipulated, nobody else decided that.

You want the staff, you sign up and sponsor them and pay the price if they abscond. Why the heck should society pick up the tab.

Or, set up in France and carry on with Eastern European’s
Let the uk continue to self destruct
