Maybe if haulage companies employed drivers direct instead of relying on 3rd party suppliers (agencies) which take a cut, they'd get more interest from potential new drivers?

Some firms could also 'up their game' with vehicle/trailer maintenance and load safety . . anecdotal I know, but I've known a few drivers that refuse to work for certain companies.

Cheap foreign drivers plays into the hands of the unscrupulous profit driven bosses, and I'm sure once we give in to recruiting foreign drivers the floodgates will open for more than just drivers being allowed in.
