Bulletin: The HGV Driver Shortage Crisis - Where Are We Now? - Q1 2023 Analysis

Our fifth Bulletin provides an update on where we are with the HGV Driver Shortage Crisis, reviewing Q1 2023 data by the Office for National Statistics.

The bulletin confirmed the expected; the UK HGV driver workforce has remained stable for the fourth successive quarter. We are observing the same conditions as pre-pandemic years, returning to a chronic low-level shortage with seasonal fluctuations. 

The focus remains on campaigning for improved HGV driver facilities, working conditions and pay to ensure we don't return to a HGV driver shortage crisis.
