To be fair, paying drivers more isn’t going to fix the problems we have for the foreseeable future. They can’t train 100,000 school leavers to drive a truck by Christmas to sort the problem out.
Drivers wages are going up by the sound of it but that’s just moving the problems around the industry with bin lorry drivers leaving to go and drive for Sainsbury’s etc.
But generally fuck the road haulage association for paying shit wages and going out of there way to make our roads more dangerous.

Read that the haulage industry want hgv drivers classed as essential and skilled labour so they can import cheap labour from Eastern Europe. They’ll try anything to get around paying drivers a good wage.
