Do you not think logistics companiies would have been better off training up drivers to replace the 20% lost by EU drivers returning home etc rather than relying on that cheap source of labour?

Potentially not. There’s now a clearly limited supply across the industry which in turn allows them to charge higher prices to customers in the interim for essentially providing the same service. It’s not a market that others can readily enter to introduce supply to apply downward pressure on the price.
