OT Shortage of lorry drivers? What is to blame?

[avondalemiller]

I think you could also say being in Europe and free movement didn't help. Eastern Europeans working for poor money and the companies loving it. Now they've gone back, for what ever reason, there's a shortage of drivers, and the companies are now having to pay decent money out to employ people.
There's also a shortage of drivers in Europe at the moment so can't really see how us not being in Europe has caused it.

There's also a shortage in just about every skilled job going at the moment. Over the last few years the price for dry lining dropped due to cheap foreign labour.
So get ready for inflation going up next......because everything is going up.....

Like Howdy says some people don't want to work, they just want to moan about everything. How do these people get away with it?? Job centre wanted me to keep a list of job applications to show them i was looking for work. I just didn't bother claiming in the end and waited for my pension to kick in 10 months later.
