We are on Gibson Lane, just before you get to Heron.
Send a PM to Conor Turton. At that money he’ll come to you from Driffield instead of driving all the way to Howden. And a bonus is that he’ll be able to teach you how to safely navigate the treacherous A66 without losing your life, for your Scottish runs.

We are struggling to find drivers!!! So there really is a driver shortage as we are even taking on new passes,
Taking on new passes isn’t a sign of a shortage. A sector with entirely the right amount of supply will always be having to take on new passes - it does this not because of a shortage, but in order to match natural wastage and avoid a shortage.

It is a sign of shortages when our recruitment policy is for recruiting a minimum of two years experience and we cannot get them, so the firm is putting new passes into brand new trucks and that isnt a sign of a driver shortage?

A sector might well have a need to recruit new passes. With private enterprises, won’t many hope that someone else will invest the time and money in that, and they will try to keep their own costs down?
Laissez faire Govs are good for short term business choices.

It is certainly good news for any new passes as they will become in demand too. A new pass we took on is doing really well, everyone is helping him out and he has certainly stepped up to the mark. More companies should give them a go themselves if they want to recruit drivers, the experienced ones are either already snapped up or are commanding big money at the moment. A new pass can fill the gap the experienced drivers have left.
It’s the insurance premium which prevents companies from taking on new passes. The one-man band outfit I drive for spent a lot of time looking into it and ringing around to get the best prices but anyone under 25 and 2 years experience was hideously expensive, to the point where the hit on the earnings vs a time-served driver were just not worth it. Out of interest, who are you insured with and how much extra does he cost?

I have no idea who we are with or the costs involved, as it is an Irish company I am unsure if that makes any difference to the insurance policy?
