you're assuming there'll be an uptake in wanting to be a trucker...it's not everyone's cuppa. In addition, they'll increase the price for Class1 training given they've lost the Class C stuff and the B+E

Aye...ain't that the truth
Trouble is we work in a very macho industry where asking for advice is seen as wussie... especially general haulage.

to a point yes.
But I'm an old enough fart to have been show the ropes and tricks by the old lads when I started.
They're gone now and that knowledge too if it wasn't passed on, hopefully I remember a lot and I happily pass it on.
I find with YouTube and the cpc to a point they think they know it all

Limited companies and self employment were never for the benefit of the employee. It was all for the employer avoiding tax and employee rights.

I agree but t a lot of employees worked out how to fiddle it and were pissed if when the loophole was closed. It will be the same when umbrella companies aren’t allowed in the future

Some of us liked being self-employed. I worked in the events industry and making enough money when it was busy and taking time off when not needed was ok.good life balance.

Big companies are to blame aswell they hire agencies to supply drivers to them this is a tax write off
Rather than employ staff and train them as it’s all about profits for them (it’s a business I get it )
But then they turn around and blame brexit
Because they can’t blame themselves can they
Just my opinion

IR35 is one of the reasons many foreign and UK drivers gave up but the public don't understand that so blame Brexit and covid

I am just saying Brexit is being blamed for the problem when it is not the only reason for the shortage of drivers. Long may it continue.
Any way how are you these days. Not seen you for a while

If that many went home, where were they living?
Apparently we still have a housing crisis!
If they all returned where can they go?
