Tackling the HGV Driver Shortage and Insurance Implications In the last five years alone, changes to the UK economic landscape have significantly affected sectors such as haulage. With regards to the driver shortage, the Government cites several potential causes, including: a reliance on overseas labour, an ageing workforce, and the pandemic’s role in halting vital HGV driving tests. Ultimately, the industry faces a delicate balance. Hauliers need to retain and care for existing, skilled drivers, introduce new talent, and keep them covered at a reasonable price.

As usual, outstanding work by Angela Splinter and her team at Trucking HR Canada. Agree with her comments on why increasing costs not drivers are the industry’s biggest concern. “We have seen a bit of a slowdown, so the hiring of drivers hasn't been that front-and-centre concern that we've seen over the last many years.” I also think that the survey is a reflection of the reality that a growing segment of our industry doesn’t appear to have a chronic driver shortage. #Trucking #supplychain #leftlane #riteroute
