It’s a bump in the road ts it’s not a terminal cancer diagnosis

I'm not talking about the petrol specifically, I'm talking about the HGV goods transport crisis that is ongoing and escalating. All of the smaller issues are just symptoms of that larger one.

If there is money to be made truck drivers will just switch my brother in law drives a hi ab hgv for travis

I can drive an hgv so can my brother if it gets that bad people will switch jobs
It’s not like there is going to be no one around maybe more women will drive hgv’s

There are plenty of women already driving hgv horse boxes

you can name any number of things that are affected by a driver shortage. The crucial point is that there is not a supply shortage, there is a delay in goods arriving, which is manageable in 99% of cases. Obviously high demand for something in a hotspot will lead to a shortage, but so what. The media are making the problem worse. Get everyone into a panic about a shortage so that they rush out and buy and create a shortage. Honestly, the media have so much to answer for. They have always been bad, but since covid arrived, they have been completely irresponsible
