So if we beleive theres a "driver shortage " and rates of pay and terms and conditions are getting better the question has to be -

At what point does the bubble burst ?

At some stage drivers will become more expense than they are worth to companies . At that point (if not long before ) drivers will be accused of holding the country to ransom and there will be calls to open the floodgates for cheap labour from whereever. Much as I hate to mention it but the miners thought they had the country held to ransom and we saw how that ended up .
Where do you all see it going ?
What do you think the new normal will be - £45 , 50 , 60 k or more a year.

Interested to hear others opinions on where it will end up.

Americans get up to 100k i hear in dollars of course…

.

$100k is about £33k in our money based on what a friend of mine gets over there. He is in Seattle and gets $29/hr driving our equivalent of a 17 tonner delivering stationery to Staples stores. That would be about a tenner an hour over here.

How do you calculate that? Did you fail math at school? Are you unable to use a basic currency converter ? Can you tell me how big his house is in comparison to most people in the UK ? How much is his weekly diesel compared to us?
Add some more facts to back this BS up.

P.S 1 dollar is approximately 72 pence.
