Listen to Nigel Farage and he'll tell you the biggest problem in Dover is a swarm of immigrants, flooding its beaches.
But the number of people crossing the English Channel in small boats is relatively small.
Meanwhile, the UK haulage industry has been brought to its knees by a driver shortage induced by Brexit and coronavirus.

@matthewyabsley
@matthewyabsley 3 года назад
@@Korschtal - You speak like you know nothing about what you speak of. Lets say for example you have 30 lorries worth of cargo to load on a train. The physics of loading these trucks means 30 drivers are pretty much gonna be in a deadlocked queue, as well as the drivers in the deadlocked queue on the receiving ends. The nature of the train network means those drivers would have to be there pretty much for arrival time of te train, which means those drivers are not going to be doing other rounds, since it is critical that they are at the train station on time. The UK is really really small, you can drive left to right in just 4 or 5 hours. And up and down in about 10 hours. If you can find the few examples where heavy goods are transported from the very South to the very North, then you would have to allow at minimum 3 hours for a driver in the south and 3 hours for the driver in the North. Why would you then pay a more expensive cost of carrying it on a train (trains cost more per mile than lorries when you have station time for loading and unloading) when 3-4% of all lorry journeys run the total length of the UK. There is no time saving in general, you introduce multiple failure points where there were less to begin with.

A shortage of HGV Drivers is just the tip of the ice berg. There is a long standing shortage of skills in the UK and also those willing to work in, shall we say, less attractive work. This has been covered/hidden by importing people. The food chain is a good example. Workers for harvesting, drivers to move crop for processing, workers for processing and packing, skilled Engineers to maintain the plant, more drivers for distribution. That's just food! but who cares about facts when voters vote on their emotions, "It's the French causing the problem".

Actually some did, but they are only fighting on the same amount of drivers, not creating more. UK's driving schools and examiners have not the possibility to form 100.000 lorry drivers in two years, figures in few weeks. Most of the job offers for truck drivers also specify "two years of experience". Also increased costs in every phase of the production line without increased productivity are only going to increase prices, when most of those sectors are open to international competition, and are already experiencing increased costs due to the increased red tape.

Neutron Alchemist Is the argument there isn't enough people living in the UK to fill these jobs or is the argument there isn't enough people willing to work these low paying jobs? Is there a population shortage in this country? If everyone in this country earned minimum wage, cutting costs to compete, what do you thing this country's economy would look like? Economies grow by people with extra money in their pocket. You have a job opening for a lorry driver, you wanted the driver to have 2 years experience and the pay is minimum wage. Only one person applied for that job, they just graduated and have no experience. Would you hire them? Companies want fully qualified people with years of experience but don't want to pay for education or training. They have to keep costs down. This is just a race to the bottom. If the UK is to survive Brexit, people should be looking around at successful economies not at economies where 50% of the people are trying to survive on minimum wage.

@@djsmithe The argument is that you can't improvise yourself a truck driver. You need a special patent to drive a truck. Before earning the patent you need to be instructed. It needs a truck driver to instruct a truck driver so, to instruct more truck drivers you have to actually REDUCE the number of drivers actually driving trucks to supply business, and of what kind of workers there is shortage of? As said, UK's driving schools and examiners have not the possibility to form 100.000 lorry drivers in two years, figures in few weeks. Most of the job offers for truck drivers also specify "two years of experience" because inexperienced truck drivers are not productive enough and more likely to have incidents. Successfull economies had not severed themself from their main market, nor banned necessary workers from the country out of spite.

Secondly, I find it funny that from the two documentaries I have seen, both were about some millionaire businessman who should be the least of your or my concern. How about making a documentary about ordinary people and how it impacts them. Furthermore, this is the reality of being successful. You won't starve to death or struggle to pay the bills. Your biggest worry might be that you wanted a villa in Portugal and you had a 5 million budget but now you have to settle for a 2.5 million apartment.

So I don't want to see him squirm in his chair and complain that he has a rough time before he gets in his Lamborghini and drives home to his mansion.

What a lot of people do not understand is that most trucks are on lease and need to be continuously paid for. If the trucks are parked up then the cost needs to go somewhere. Short term I'm sure large hauliers will absord the costs if possible. Longer term it will in no doubt lead to increased shipping costs which will lead to inflation. There is also the loss in revenue to the state. Brexit was, is and will continue to be an unmitigated disaster for the UK.

A point being missed is as follows Those UK qualified drivers who have moved home are now no longer qualified. I moved from the UK to Spain prior to brexit and Spain will not recognise C or CE categories and therefore remove them from the licence upon exchange. This is the same in most EU countries. This compounds the shortage in all countries. Even though the 1945/2016 EU treaty of driving licence recognition states these categories should be recognised, it seems this is no longer the case. The UK may not be able to source drivers from the EU if this treaty no longer applies and lots of drivers have in fact lost those qualifications. I'm certainly one of those drivers and I know of many more. Several of them personally.

that doesn't really work due to cabotage. EU drivers can only do 1 delivery trip while in the UK before returning to the EU. They used to do 6 or 7 per visit. That means we need around 6 times more drivers just to replace the cabotage trips. I heard EU transport companies are now delivering shipping containers to ports rather than do uneconomic lorry trips into the UK. That means we need vastly increased numbers of domestic lorry drivers than even before Brexit.

Great interviews! The man from the trucking company mentioned that, if need be, they will move their trucks out of the country and have them operate in the EU. I think that's almost certain to happen, because there is no fast solution to the shortage of drivers. And I think that will happen sooner than later, because those companies aren't going to risk bankruptcy waiting for drivers that they know won't show up. So, when push literally comes to shove in the supermarket isles, people will demand action, but even if the government would then install some nation wide plan to train and subsidize tens of thousands of new lorry drivers (as if), then it would still be too late because all those trucks that the UK needs are now tied up in the EU, and not coming home unless there's a damn good monetary incentive. (as if!). - Oh, and on top of that, border checks will be implemented in October!

How come N Ireland is not suffering any of these problems? Exports to Republic of Ireland has soared since Brexshit. That earns hard currency for U K. Imports from Republic of Ireland has also increased. Thus Uniting the country economically. Not exactly the thing the D U P had in mind when they campaigned for, voted for, were granted, and now object to. But the D U P were always nay sayers.

Correct and right Mr. WPF. Not forgetting the (mostly Unionist) farmers in Northern Ireland who are now exporting their excellent Lamb, Beef etc to the EU via the ports of Republic while the English, Scottish and Welsh farmers have lost access to the huge EU market thanks to the (mostly English) engineered Brexit. Unlike the DUP the N. Irish farmers are very happy as are the Industrialists. Of course we all know what the "Loyalists" etc are motivated by...sorry for ending with a Preposition though it's not as crazy as the Proposition by Loyalists to break the Good Friday Agreement.

Brexit is brilliant - As a EU and UK citizen from East Europe I have so many more rights and opportunities as than a regular UK citizen. Companies that used to look down on me when I was looking for work now queue to hire me because I can work both in UK and EU with almost no additional papers. I have a self employed in the UK and another one in Europe. When they have work for me now I just go where the job is and pay some taxes in the UK and some taxes in Europe. I used to have to pay all my taxes in UK. And because of that I can also charge more.

Strange due the EU is having a Driver Shortage also US Canada Australia and so on at similar levels, also the issues in the industry have been getting worse over decades. Like with what goes up must come down. One part is companies especially large Hullage companies got addicted to cheep labour and kept pay low and those cheep labour have woken up to what we had done also situations back home have improved and 19 did effect as well. Maybe if you interviewed a far mix of drivers especially UK drivers you may learn the truth… Brexit is an easy cop out ‘ excuse for the industry to blame all there failings onto instead of facing up to the facts, witch are many like Under cutting below profit level on jobs just to under cut competition, poorly maintained expensive uk facilities eg services lay-bys. Drivers waiting around for hours at RDC,s even if there on time. Drivers pay being averagely low also not many benefits to becoming or being a Truck Driver. The Bulk of the Blame lies at the Industry’s Feet due to greed and the bottom dollar. The industry needs to come together and sort it out even if they are liable.

Realistically, the solution is HM gov to recruit the 50,000 customs staff that it promised in 2016 to expedite the brexit paperwork. Transport firms can solve the problems by relocating to Europe, paying a premium to drivers to go to GB and simply charging the GB customers more. This is what brexiters wanted so I'm certain they will not have a problem with this.

Hiring the 50K customs staff would solve any inbound problems, which don't reportedly exist right now since there are few inbound customs checks being done, but it's not going to impact the outbound traffic to Europe at all. That's still going to be a problem.

But most of all - foreign workers are respected in Sweden, enjoy exactly the same rights as anyone and that is not the case in the UK, foreign workers are openly disrespected.

Hey Joe, listen, just in (Saturday, Spetember 4, 2021), this is really funny. In view of the shortage of 100.000 truck drivers in the UK, BoJo and his crew have decided to LOWER the wages of truck drivers and make it easier for real estate developers to build posh for impossibly high rents and more difficult to build social or council housing that would be affordable to NHS personnel, teachers and truck drivers. THAT will certainly entice people from the continent to come to England to establish themselves there as a truck driver.
