Driver 'shortage': new report, same old story

Winseer:
There is a shortage of well-paid driver jobs.
There is an abundance of low-paid driver jobs.

[/i]

There is also a shortage of competent drivers prepared to look after those remaining well paid jobs, ie not take the ■■■■ out of the sick scheme nor look after the kit or bother about looking after the customer or indeed the employer themselves by going the extra mile when the job demands it.

There are good drivers in good jobs still, they tend to keep schtum because they wouldn’t want some of the dross that would turn up if the job was broadcast, that’s why sop many of the better job vacancies are filled by recommendation…and before anyone complains about that quoting old pals act, the OPA isn’t always the case, those in good jobs would be fools indeed to recommend a chump who in turn would put other chumps up = job goes ■■■■ up and hey presto here come the green death or some other equivalent.
