If it's worth their while financially, drivers will come from around the world to work here but with the UK at full employment levels, we may need to make their stay permanent whilst we train the next generation of male and female drivers.

As Pierre touches upon, we should also try to make HGV driving more attractive to women thus expanding the potential pool of drivers.
