I've done my time travelling for work, and whilst enjoyable I'm glad it's no longer a consistent requirement.
Regardless, of the above we get to ask some interesting questions.
1. How do you entice existing licenced drivers who are currently in other fields of employment back into the profession?
2. How do you make the profession appealing to potential new hires?
3. If 1 & 2 cannot be achieved, how do we fill the gap until such time as self driving/automated HGV's become 'a thing' ?

Simple pay better wages , look at the hours worked and how about dedicated hgv lanes the trucks are hard enough to drive without having idiots getting in the way. Also cut benefits . Wales are looking at giving everyone a " minimum wage". Think it's good idea just look at Indian reservations with casinos .
