The figure I keep seeing at the moment is a shortfall of 100,000 drivers. I also keep seeing the industry admitting the number of EU drivers no longer working in the UK is only 16-20k. You don't have to be Einstein to see that Brexit is only responsible for around 16-20% of the problem, and in the absence of a global shortage and a pandemic-induced training delay wouldn't be causing any particularly noticeable problems at all. Funny, then, that for certain contributors on this board it's 100% of their obsession.
