Scottish Driver shortage now?

“Scot ex-solider says ‘god send’ truck training scheme changed his life forever after YEARS on the dole left him feeling ‘worthless’” thescottishsun.co.uk/news/3 … -scotland/

A brilliant scheme for ex squaddies.
Shortage in Scotland though?? Only had one shift this year myself, mainly due to my own choice, but phone ain’t exactly ringing off hook.

You could get a Full Time start tomorrow morning if you have your class 1. Its just knowing where to look and whos door to knock.

Driver shortage my arse. More like drivers not going out to work for crap pay.

Id much rather jump in a van for 9.50 an hour than haul 44 tonne around for the same money. Ita a no brainer.

It’s the old age thing of finding the right place and right money to do it aswell. Plenty of places looking for folk but it’s finding what your happy with :unamused:

What happens to those firms that have national pay scales - when it comes to Scotland?

I remember years ago when visiting Leeds - and hearing that “anyone working for a public sector firm with a big union” - was treated in the local economy, friends, neighbors etc. as “if they were a stockbroker”… ! :open_mouth:

Can you imagine it?

"Oooh Deidre - I’ve chucked up that useless dreamer of mine who thinks he’ll be a footballer one day - and now I’m dating… Wait for it… An Ex-Squaddie who’s driving for the NHS!
I’m soo proud to be on his arm on saturday nights now!"

It’s even worse down under… These “Ladies” are more ‘Brisbane’ than ‘Bradford’ I think…

Wait till i get my pint goggles on.
