Seeing as the average age of truck drivers is 55+ I guess the shortage will be getting worse, still in the mean time if anyone needs toilet roll I can do you 6 for £20. [emoji50][emoji23]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
A glut of full time drivers on contract to work “Any five from seven” means that those firms now choosing to consolidate their workforces - can end up excluding say, agency ZHC drivers outright, which puts DOWNWARD pressure on hourly rates, rather than what one might otherwise expect here. Drivers are running scared to sign up to these lousy contracts at this time. If I were wrong, then there would be a lot of drivers taking early retirement right now, and choosing to self-isolate, preferring to live off their private incomes… I say WHAT private incomes for the vast majority of us, expected to work upto age 70 now as it is…
It is a tug of war situation.
The only thing that will now create an upper hand for the Driver’s lot - is a genuine pandemic actually happening for real among the drivers, rather than a hoaxy bigged-up “This year’s version of the Flu” marketed worldwide like it was Pestis Yersinia rather than just a severe flu or even concocted man-made Cold Virus experiment that got out of the labs in China when it shouldn’t have done…
I don’t believe this is the biblical event foretold that will kill 25% of mankind…
…That, alas - is yet to come.
“Tribulation” though? - Looks like now being in full-swing - doesn’t it?
