There’s been a lot of news recently about a shortage of LGV drivers. Many people remain unaware of the importance of drivers for our supply chain and our economy, but COVID-19 and the aftermath of Brexit led to a shortage of drivers that threatened to have a huge impact. Thankfully, things are starting to turn a corner.
The sector and the government has acted quickly to try and alleviate the impact, reviewing rules around LGV drivers working hours and providing more training for new drivers – and as a result, HGV drivers are enjoying pay rises and better working conditions which has helped to attract and retain drivers.
This is good news – but the shortage still remains a big challenge for the longer-term future for logistics.
If you are considering a career in long distance driving, now is a great time to take advantage of the multitude of training opportunities available as well as the improved pay and prospects.
