Bulletin: The HGV Driver Shortage Crisis - Q2 2022 Analysis

Our fourth Bulletin to the Driver Require Think Tank report “THE ANSWER TO THE UK’s HGV DRIVER SHORTAGE” provides an update on the UK’s HGV driver shortage following the release of the Q2 2022 data by the Office for National Statistics. 

This bulletin analyses the results of the Quarterly Labour Force Survey for the period April to June and continues the same positive trajectory as Bulletin 3, reflecting further increases in the driver pool. 

The bulletin concluded that we are likely to return to the pre-pandemic conditions of a chronic low-level driver shortage, and an ageing workforce with insufficient younger drivers to replenish the driver pool.
