A lack of HGV drivers has concerned Government and industry for more than a decade.
Conclusion
A lack of HGV drivers has concerned Government and industry for more than a decade. Too few people want to work in the sector, and the retention rate for those who become drivers is low. The covid-19 pandemic exacerbated those trends, turning a chronic problem into an acute one. The acute shortage may now be abating, but it is unclear whether progress and capacity will be sustained.
