btw, the lorry driver wages examples are industry wide, not just ARLA - £7 an hour is a crappy wage, especially when you have to work 50 hours a week to get it.
Having just looked, Arla are recruiting drivers (or trying to), and offering £12.37 - £16.36 per hour depending on experience etc.

They also produce butter, cheeses, yoghurts etc (which use milk) for retailers . . which doesn't seem to be impacted (at least not mentioned) by a shortage of drivers?
