As we all know, there is absolutely definitely a shortage of 100,000 truck drivers in the UK, and it is the sole reason for the imminent collapse of civilization.

So where are all the trucks?
Wait time for a new one is now measured in years, not months. Almost impossible to rent anything. Are they squirreled away being polished ready for the high earning hordes of new drivers?
Just another reason why it doesn’t add up. Any driver who still believes the media or government on anything, from Brexit to vaccines and everything inbetween, needs to seriously rethink.
There’s a very simple answer - Just In Time
Japan created this amazing system over many decades with the full cooperation of its suppliers, staff, government and banks. There are some serious downsides Japan was well aware of this. They spent millions creating ‘systems within systems’ to remove shocks.
The rest of the world looked at this truly unique system that required minimal warehousing or storage and the spectacular savings that could be made. They created their own Frankstein’s monster loosely based on JIT. All the benefits, f*CK the risk cover side, that costs money!
And here we are today…
Companies using a ■■■■■■■■■■■ model to generate even more profits with no insurance built in.
This is no different to the 2008 housing crash in the states. Everyone chasing immediate profit with no thought for tomorrow.
Lots of firms today openly saying they’re abandoning JIT all together… but that’s throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Nobody expected Covid. Nobody expected the Black Swan. You don’t need to expect them, you need to cover yourself Just In Case.
