To be fair, paying drivers more isn’t going to fix the problems we have for the foreseeable future.
Yes, short term solution it not ideas but long term solution mean more people would be interested in being a drivers despite terrible conditions.

But it’s not just drivers, there’s a 15% vacancy rate across all industries with hotspots in food production, hospitality, farming, it’s not like just raising salaries across-the-board it’s going to help on its own there needs to be a more liberal immigration policy.

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.
