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.
Maybe if the drivers applied directly to the hauliers, instead of going through an agency?

Or is it they want to be self-employed rather than employees?
