Its not a job that will suit everyone, but its a shame old school truck drivers are so quick to comment on the negatives instead of encouraging younger people to take a chance in this industry 🤷‍♀️

There’s a shortage because you’re expected to have endless responsibility and endless hours for nigh on minimum wage

No shortage just lack of decent wage . And cpc etc etc and road works constantly . I’ve been Hgv driver for years and has got worse over time with the cost of living and no increase for Hgv wage 🤦‍♀️
