That’s an old piece, 31 AUG 2021, all that big-wage hullabaloo has long gone.Only because it’s a quiet time of year. Nothing much has happened to increase the driver pool and drivers will continue to retire in far greater numbers than new blood comes along.
Where I’m ETM we’ve just employed three drivers, it wasn’t that hard to find good experienced drivers willing to take the jobs even though the money isn’t fantastic.
If there is a genuine decrease in size of the driver pool, it’s no surprise there isn’t a massive queue of people desperate to get into an industry with a history of long hours, and where people constantly focus on working out how to work the maximum amount while getting the least amount of rest.
