The Road Transport Union are warning that the driver shortages are not just limited to the UK, but is a global issue that must be tackled together.
The chronic shortage of professional HGV and PSV drivers is worsening, impacting services from local bus and coach routes to international supply chains.
We have seen, over the past few years, a number of schemes and programmes in the UK, designed to attract new drivers and retain current drivers. However, it is clear that there is still work to do.
