Hi, there’s shortages of some things and large price rises in others. What’s going on?

Anyone know what the drivers earn & what their terms & conditions are like?

If they're "poor" then it's no surprise is it .

There are thousands of un used licences were people av taken up th role only to find it wasnt for them. Says it all really. I know a company that asked for 42 redudancies. They got 64 applicants. It shows that th drivers are getting older with no one to take there place. Maybe th market could realise th T&Cs dont match th job.??

I stopped the hassle and all that goes with it 1n 1991. That was when traffic volumes were lighter and the motorways, were well motorways. Anyone daft enough to do a HGV (good pay), PSV or multi-drop (various vehicle weights) is either a youngster or of dubious origins.

Feet up for me!
