For several years now, the UK has been suffering from a shortage in skilled lorry drivers. In the last five years, application for heavy goods vehicle (HGV) licenses has dropped by 45%. Last year, the Road Haulage Association stated that it is 60,000 drivers short as they expect their ageing workforce to shed another 40,000 by this year. HGV UK’s November 2017 report states that the UK’s lorry trade has a skill shortage of 52,000 large goods vehicle (LGV) drivers.

With an economy that is supported heavily by the transport of goods, it is crucial that the shortage of skilled drivers be addressed.
