As you will no doubt be aware the media has recently focused on the lack of HGV drivers in the UK market – a direct result of Covid/Brexit – more specifically down to so called pingdemic, a huge backlog in HGV applications/tests, drivers returning to the EU since Brexit and the continued surge in imports to the UK.
