The Road Haulage Association (who should know more about the problem than the rest of us) reckon it's a problem that's been made worse by brexit and have asked for EU HGV drivers to given back the right to live and work here:
"We need an immediate solution to this problem - we are not going to solve this now by training drivers and as such need access to EU and EEA labour. We ask for the introduction of a temporary worker visa for HGV drivers and for this occupation to be added to the Home Office Shortage Occupation List.
This will allow UK-registered transport operators to access a workforce that can live and work in the UK more easily and encourage those who have left to return - even if this is short-term measure whilst we concentrate on a longer-term plan."
Whether many want to return/come here is another matter.
