The Brexit lot are clearly not the brightest crayons. They would rather stay in the EU and continue being paid national minimum wage.

Brexit supporters were in favour of leaving the eu, not staying in it.

Do I remember someone on TNUK getting his knickers all twisted up because Brexit was mentioned anywhere, except where he approved of it?
I wonder who that was?
Although Brexit is definitely a factor, that certainly doesn’t explain why Poland needs even more drivers than the UK does.

I got a message from my agency and I’ve had an initial 2% with the potential for a little more
I have had an update about your pay rise….So…The client has still have not decided on a final amount so for now they have increased the rate by 2% starting from last Sunday. This will be sorted for you this week. This is not the final figure and this will be increased again soon in the coming weeks.
I wanted to do something to show something is happening. They (the client) have asked me not to backdate it until the final figure has come in otherwise I will have to back date your wages twice and you will see more of a benefit if its done in one lump sum. For all the drivers who don’t know already the difference in the amount is going to be backdated to the 1st July 2021. I know this is not the amount you were wating for, please bear with me and remember this is NOT the final increase. It will be going up again in the weeks to come once finalised.
Their own drivers have put in for a 7% pay rise which the management have declined, so there’s a stalemate. Their basic salary is only £35K and in the current climate I recon that they should be on £3k-5k PA more basic, but they are so used to the additional pay perks and O/T which boosts their pay to around £40k their complacency means that the management will most likely shaft them

Meant to write the **anti-**Brexit lot. The bitter “remoaners”.
I can understand anyone being in favour of eu membership if it had not had a detrimental effect on them. What I cannot understand is why any employee HGV driver would take a pro-Remain stance. These unprecedented pay rises that we are seeing are entirely consistent with what I and other Brexit supporters predicted would happen post-Brexit and are going some way towards reversing the decline in our wages and living standards since 2004.
It seems that some TruckNet members are so altruistic that they would sooner work for the minimum wage than see Tarquin and Jemima pay an extra 10p for a Kumquat or Kiwi fruit smoothie. Perhaps Franglais should offer his services to the road transport industry on a voluntary basis, as folk do on preserved steam railways.

Maybe because Poland is a much larger country and the drivers would do a bit more mainland Euro work

Mate you can’t educate pork.
It’s like when I hear everything well get more expensive.
So ■■■■■■■ what.
If my wages go up 15-20% and inflation goes up 6%
I’m still 9-14% up as a driver happy days.

Congratulations on your honesty.
Not many would say they are writing a post when they can’t be arsed to read a short article. So to save you the effort*
UK approx 76k shortage
Poland 124k
Germany 45k
France 43k
Spain, and Nordic states too.
.
So why is the current shortfall all about Brexit I wonder?
.
Oh, and checkout USA and Canada too. Have then been much affected by Brexit?

Sunny weather today…thank you St Nigel.

Untrue pigs are intelligent animals.

How does “it seem so” to you?
Where have I ever said drivers are overpaid or shouldn’t have a decent pay rise?

I voted remain as I was perfectly happy how my life was , 2 x 2 week hols abroad , 4 bedroom house paid for years ago , 2 newish cars , savings etc , we were going to pack up & go & live abroad but brexit put paid to that , and as for all these pay rises , I was informed by txt of mine & it clearly said temporary , we will see how it goes , it didn’t say permanent
As for all you brexiters knew this would happen , show me all these posts from before the referendum stating this ? , I can’t remember anyone ever saying that , maybe I’m wrong but I’d like to see these threads .
