If the shortage isn't due to Brexit, then why aren't European drivers now coming over to take advantage of the higher rates?
ONS figures suggest 18,000 EU drivers went home. The other missing 82,000 drivers is complaining about is because people don't want to drive Class 1 for minimum wage.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

EU-wide: https://www.globalcoldchainnews.com/...-pan-european/
UK: https://moneyweek.com/economy/uk-eco...what-can-we-do
The last article is quite revealing, as 53% of respondents blamed IR35, which is quite understandable.

Also, Germany has 1.5million truck drivers, the UK has 516,000, so the UK shortage is about 12%, and the German shortage is about 3%
So, while 58% of the UK RHA questioned blamed Brexit, 53% said that the problem with getting agency drivers was IR35. Not quite the spin you put on it.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

went up north last weekend Lidl/Aldi/Morrisons & Sainsbury's had full shelves just like down here. University towns aren't starving.
