📘 GET THE FULL BRITISH DRIVER'S GUIDE
https://gary-webster.vercel.app/
Britain's lorry drivers are fed up, and many of them are handing back the keys for good. Long hours, filthy or non-existent lay-by facilities, nowhere safe to park overnight, and pay that still doesn't match the pressure of the job. In 2026, the UK HGV driver shortage is back in the headlines, and the big haulage firms are feeling it.
In this video, we break down why so many experienced HGV drivers are refusing to keep driving for the mega carriers, what's really happening behind the numbers, and what it could mean for supermarket shelves, fuel deliveries and the wider UK supply chain. We also look at where drivers are going instead, from owner-driver work and agency shifts to leaving the industry completely.
Are you a UK trucker? Would you still drive for one of the big firms, or have you had enough? Tell us your story in the comments. We read every one.
