    That's because they've deteriorated since Brexit. The pound is down. You can earn higher wages elsewhere. British HGV drivers are the poor men of Europe.

      OK that's your 'reality' the official figures and the people with brain cells think something else.

      For instance why is there a Europe wide shortage if Brexit is the cause? Damn I didn't know our Nige was that powerful!

      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          Its the ONS, Government & the Grocers reality too. You are just agreeing with the RHA who have an agenda.

          Apparently not but it is pretty bad and has the same causes the hauliers short changing the drivers hence few new drivers. Covid closing the test centres. The cheap workforce choosing the most profitable countries - Poland is suffering for instance.
          We put the tax up - IR35
          Reinstated visa fees & regulations - that lastbit was post Brexit)

          Its OK to blame your erectile dysfunction on Brexit we all understand the stress of losing has made you floppy
