RE: Fuel shortage ?
There has been a shortage of drivers for many many years now , the number most regularly toted around was 70,000 at least as far back as 10 years ago , some bright spark in power(probably the same one who took away bursaries for trainee nursing students , sold of the student accomodations and then started recruiting nurses ready trained from oversea's) intoduced a formal qualification that has to be continually updated periodically and a more intrusive method of driver hours monitoring(the driver has to pay towards in the shape of a digicard) thereby putting off a number of potential trainee drivers with the added costs and complexity and then using economic migrants to fill the shortfall which in turn at the very least caused wages and conditions to stagnate and in real terms reduce , it's a tough job involving sacrifices to family and health/wellbeing , lots of facilities have been lost year on year due to the high cost of rents the high value of land(many traditional truckstops have disappeared/knocked down to redevelop to more lucrative uses , traditional roadside cafes have dissapeared in droves , truckers are pissing in empty pop bottles , living of junk food and having a wash with wet wipes , it's grim out there nowadays, and that's without the extra congestion , declining driving standards of the public and increased incidents of road rage!.....come back and drive trucks says the baroness , there are loads of wonderfull opportunities!....fek off says i !
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool!!!!
