UK to hire foreign truck drivers amid Brexit supply shortages | DW News

- Britain says it will issue thousands of emergency visas to foreign truck drivers to help ease supply chain problems that have led to fuel rationing and empty shelves at supermarkets. In the aftermath of Brexit, thousands of foreign drivers left the U-K, since they could no longer work visa-free. And now ordinary Britons are feeling the effects.
Despite government pleas not to panic buy fuel, long queues have built up at the pumps.
A shortage in lorry drivers has led to delivery bottlenecks across the UK, forcing some stations to close or to ration what fuel they have left. It's a nightmare for those who depend on the fuel for work.
Analysts say the driver shortages were caused by the pandemic and Brexit. Various sectors had previously warned that supplies would run short. Many supermarket shelves have been left empty for weeks.
The UK government, facing growing pressure, has now announced a temporary visa scheme for 10,500 lorry drivers and poultry workers. But this will hardly be enough to ease the pressure. Estimates suggest the UK is short of about 100,000 heavy goods vehicle drivers.
Frustration among citizens is growing, too. And with Christmas around the corner, the situation could get even worse.

Why should a foreign driver go to the UK even if he now gets the visa?
"Hey, can you come and help us rectify this mess, and we will kick you out as soon as things become normal again"
Maybe for a £20,000 tax free golden hello :-)
The only reason would be money 💲 a bit like working on an oil rig. 😓
On point.
Money. You think they're here for the weather?
Better conditions for drivers in EU : money and time at work...!
My brexiteer boss now works in Belgium as truck driver, to pay out his mortgage. Oh, the irony!!!
That'a the way it goes and it will be far worse in future
Does he call himself “expat”? Lol
Sweet taste of sovereignty... and irony :-)))))
"UK to hire foreign truck drivers"
Honestly who would want to work there after Brexit. One of the reasons for Brexit was the Brits didn`t want E.U workers taking British jobs. The E.U workers were made to feel unwelcome, now they want some of them back?
No we don’t ! What we want is the Government to cancel the IR35 ruling that came in back in April and caused loads of self employed drivers to pack in driving .
I left and I’m happy back home. I am grateful for what I gained, but I’m out
Only for 3 months
do your research, don't just follow the msm... ffs.
@gerry findon Interesting scenario. Considering the history, do you think the reunification will be less tumultuous? If North and South get unified, then the border between the north and the UK can become the actual border between EU and UK. Do you think it could happen before 2025?

@@luigiwoo4469 Sorry to hear that, is it really that bad you cannot get an exotic roast chicken? I think you'll be in your 50s before the English people get the chance to decide if they want to rejoin. A new generation of voters will have to supersede the old one and a cultural change will have to take place, whereby the English build a new self-image, understand the European project and finally accept they are no longer a super power. No European land on its own is, not even Germany. I think the Scots rejoining on their own is likely to happen before. Let's see what lies ahead.
@@bellezayverdad do you really think the Uk is going to do a cultural change just because europeans want one... I don't think so
@@edharris2395 no no, don't put words in my mouth. I don't think EU citizens crave for a cultural change in England nor that most of us care too much about it. I just said cultural change is in my opinion a prerequisite for the possibility of rejoining to arise again. I didn't say it will actually happen (although it is likely judging by how the vote was distributed across age groups) or whether it is wanted or not.
At the beginning I felt sad about the whole thing. Now it starts to entertain me to be honest.
Tipical case of boomers deciding for things that Will have mayor consecuences when around the time they Will eventually die (just like climate change) (but it's also fault of the younger geberations for not voting in elections as much as boomers).

Yes lets stay with the blackmailers who steal every countries money!
As an independant country a visa system is open to the world not just europe . If a driver is qualified they could come from and country Ukraine to asia
@@randyvalantino6850 The EU did not stop the UK from issuing visas for non-EU people. Do you want to try again?
I thought one of the reasons they wanted Brexit was because there were too many foreigners competing with locals for unskilled positions like this one.
That's what they thought. In reality the foreigners were the only ones that would take such jobs, as the companies are paying nothing for long hours and showers in public restrooms.
Which person with a family can do that job? Which is why the UK has 300k drivers that aren't driving.
@@benghazi4216 300,000 unemployed truck driver? Where does that number come from?
@@benghazi4216 Preach

@@error-mc5xw There's a total of about 300k and a shortage of about 100k. I think they mixed some stats up but with numbers that high it seems nit picky to call that out. The UK is royally f**ked. Pun intended.
And why would any HGV drivers go to UK for a job? It's not like there is a lack of work in EU for drivers.
EU has shortage of drivers
@@deanbryce8263 . Perhaps. But it is not noticeble.
@@jonaswladimir6889 Really, Germany short by 60k, France and Spain by 40k, Poland by 120k
yep, the damage has been done and cannot be switched back on overnight, and this wont get better anytime soon, our government truly are sadomasochists
@@deanbryce8263 But its not causing shortages and its kind of a weasel words comparison. Firstly, a large proportion of HGV drivers are seasonal workers, who aren't needed all year around, or work in different parts of the EU at different times of the year, depending on demand. Secondly, if all the problem was a shortage of drivers, shops just load up the trucks with a larger load and stockpile more on site (this is why there aren't the big shortages in EU supermarkets). Its a combination of other squeezes on the UK supply chain that's the problem.
The UK is also short farm workers (so when the truck does show up, its not able to take on a full load), shipping agents to fill out all that extra post-brexit paperwork (which delays shipments) and if your truck is going to be stuck in a queue for hours getting into and out of the UK, that basically means you need a lot more lorries and drivers to do the same job. And of course if there's a knock effect, such as not enough drivers to move fuel supplies, hence trucks don't have the fuel, this amplifies the problem.
"They are stealing our jobs!"

@@jage5256 In the UK there's approximately one million job vacancies and a low unemployment rate. Too often the UK has relied on cheap EU labour and after Brexit was probably hopeful that UK workers would take over the jobs EU workers took. This has not been the case , generous unemployment benefits have deterred them taking over those jobs. The result though is rising wages for HGV drivers for example which is encouraging an uptake in job applications. Despite media reports there is no shortage of petrol (gas) just some panic buying that has closed some petrol stations but there's only so much petrol that can be put in a car then the queues will abate. There's also no food shortages, some items might be unavailable but there's always an alternative. Regards from the UK.

@T C So? Who mentioned slavery? Who mentioned skin color? It sounds like my comment touched a nerve.
@T C You are talking nonsense. There’s a difference between indentured servitude and plain slavery. You mentioned skin color implicitly by mentioning Europeans. As I said something in my comment must’ve touched a nerve. The issue is not what slavery is. It’s about exploiting labor by imposing certain restrictions on the labor force. Perhaps, the Brits can try the German ingenuity this time by employing “guest workers” by importing able bodied laborers by separating them from their families back home.

would a foreign truck driver have a uk valid ADR (a qualification for carrying hazardous materials) and a PDP (Petrol Drivers passport) before they can drive a tanker in the uk....its not the problem of there being no drivers...in order to drive a tanker one needs both a valid ADR and PDP as well as HGV license.....someone with a HGV license cannot automatically jump into a fuel tanker and drive it without these qualifications..which takes 4 years to get, so i dont understand how foreign drivers will have the relevant qualifications to drive fuel trucks within the uk....shop delivery trucks yes..but fuel tankers??

We're not lining up at the pumps. But the market place is responding. Trucking wages have gone up significantly over the last two years. Inexperienced entry-level will always be at the bottom, wage-wise.
If they drove on the right side of the road there wouldn't be a shortage of applicants.
@@jdrancho1864 No really?! Where? I'll come tomorrow. Or, regarding your standards,if 3$/hr increase in the last 12 years means ''significantly'' then I agree. I start driving trucks in North America in 2009 and was 20$/hr city or 0.41/mile long haul. Now 23$/hr and 0.50/mile in my area. And like owner-operator with your own permits the prices never was low like in the last 2 years.
@D R Driver shortage in EU is 1% of registered trucks in UK is 20% just google the data. UK just become a world class joke.
When the government says DON'T PANIC, it's the time to PANIC.
I think they should start a rumor about job shortages so, everyone will rush to get one.
😂 too funny
underrated comment :D
I am laughing at this like a little girl :D "Let's make Britain great again with Brexit" Gas prices rose 250% since January ,4 providers collapsed next 5 is filing for bankruptcy. And 90% of job offer is willing to offer You a whole lot of national minimum wage of 8.91 per hour
Fellow zimbabweans in uk: "We left zim because of this, now it´s happening in the uk". were should we now run away to.

Stay there until we can determine if you guys are carrying something that causes economic suicide 😅
@@TheNizzah1 Lol heheh goodone: That was never strange in zim it was verry usual, now UK it´s just my thinking what zimbabweans are thinking there. Well lets check it out with the economic suicide goodone.

Well ... if Brexiters were so concerned about the arrival of workers from the EU, now they can go to their former colonies (India, Pakistan, half Africa) to find the truckers they need so badly.
Remember Boris Johnson's sentence?
"We wont send 350m euros per week to EU, we spend it in uk"
Boris , sounds like u stole it baby
Did you hear how much was spent on test & trace in the UK?? And it didn't even work...
Unfortunately David Cameron’s conservatives didn’t tell Boris and his entourage that this would happen, boohoo!!
David Cameron played russian roulette with British economy and politics (he lost like a stinking dog), Boris is round 2 of that, the stench will never leave or disappear (that's Brexit, it stinks).
Tesla can use this model to sell more cars 😂
True, you don't need trucks to transport electricity to charging stations.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I guess it's no more 'Rule Brittania, Brittania rule the waves.'

We DESERVE everthing that's happening to us! I'm sad that some of us were well informed enough to know that things as such would happen and we all know that's not just it, that's just the beginning........
you know its serious when they say "truck drivers" instead of "lorry drivers"
Walking in the shade of the USA even for your own language 🤣
Moral of the story: "Don't leave EU"
@@SA.................. A very good argument, can you give an example?
@@SA.................. Says the man from the country that has literal royals. At least the bureaucracy does some work in the name of consumer rights etc...
@@SA.................. Seems like those EU burocrats are worth every penny if they enable us smooth operations in our countries. How much does a UK politicians get payed for their fantastic job of managing the UK right now?
@@SA.................. This adjustment of the labour market is an adjustment from having enough EU workers to do all the jobs that need to be done, adjusted to state where the jobs that need to get done are not getting done because they can't get the staff and the economy collapses.
@@SA.................. No, the EU parliament is decided by votes in an actual election.
You get what you paid for 🇬🇧. Lol
Of course there's no fuel/supply shortage in UK.
There just implementing BoJo's commitment for a cleaner planet. :)
People before BREXIT; "Foreigners are taking our jobs"
People after BREXIT; "Foreigners aren't taking our jobs"
It would be hilarious if it wasn't so serious and so pathetic
The philosophy of the rich and the poor is this: "the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left".
Investing in today is priceless because tomorrow isn't promised, trading Bitcoins,gold, silver and crypto secure a better tomorrow.
Interesting, most people don't understand the market moves and tend to be mislead in facts like this and always depend on Money in the Bank very bad idea.
It's nice to hear people discuss about investment, because investment always beat cash.
I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do because I have no idea of how and where to invest in?
I'm happy to see Mr Chris James mentioned here, My spouse recommended him to me after investing £4000 and he has really helped us financially in thu times of COVID-19 lockdown here in Australia.
Should sound like this: 100.000 low paid lorry drivers.
UK to substitute EU drivers with Taliban Afghani drivers, way to go UK!
I want to buy a big red bus and drive it round with “brexit: shortages, increased prices, dead industries” on the side.
We were lied to, but sadly only less than half could see that.
The irony was always that “they’re taking our jobs” was based on jobs Britons didn’t even want.
National self harm … as predicted. But the Brexiters will never admit it. Too much for their egos.
You won't get far driving that bus around before you run out of diesel.

*Brexiteers* "Take back control! We don't need the EU. Tougher immigration laws!"
Also *brexiteers* "Uhm. There's empty shelves at Tesco, Asda, fuel is being rationed, fruit & veggies are rotting because no pickers. Please send more lorry drivers & fruit pickers!"
I've honestly never understood that right-wing view. you have to be completely blind to not see that is was immigrants doing cheap jobs so kicking them out will mean you have to start doing those jobs
Do you live in the UK? There's no empty shelves, there might be a product or two not available but there's always an alternative. As an example, no hovis bread but plenty Warburton bread. I drove to work this morning and there was no queues at the petrol station.
@@lloydnaylor6113 yeah it does vary a lot but the idea of this would have been alien 5 years ago but now we have to live with it. imagine voting to have your economy crippled
@@luigiwoo4469 The economy is not crippled. There's one million job vacancies in the UK, a very low unemployment rate (far lower than the EU average). No food shortages, I'm in supermarkets twice a week and there's plenty , the petrol shortages are caused by panic buying. There's only so much petrol one can put in a car and with in a short space of time petrol stations won't be able to give it away.
@@lloydnaylor6113 100% agree most of what is being reported domestically and by channels throughout Europe is only showing isolated cases giving the appearance of a country falling apart which it most certainly is not, the vitriol coming from a lot of people in EU member states and Uk citizens with some bizarre agenda who seem to hate their own country amuses me. I wish people wouldn't believe everything they see and read when for the most part it's nonsense. Me, remainer but accepted Brexit, English with a French partner, and everywhere has problems throughout the European continent but I question why so many seem to want to attack the Uk for merely not wanting to be part of a certain organisation any longer...
The british people wanted the Brexit, now they have to live with the consequences.
"Some of the British". Millions didn't, and tried their hardest to stop it.
@@currywuss Yes and I'm sorry for them.
Those foreign truck drivers should refuse the job at all costs
South East Asian just won't.

That was a verygood vote. That brexit. So you got what you vote for.
Those who voted to leave got what they actually voted for, but the won't believe you. They think they were promised something better, it just shows that the grass is not greener in the next field
At first I thought Brexit was a tragedy... now I realize it's a comedy.
Brexit has been so much entertaining for us . On our side of the English Channel, all is well.
Was here too in 1940🤣
No clue as I wasn't born yet and we're now in 2021 ! Better live in the present than dreaming about the past ;)

"I didnt think a leapard would eat MY face" said lady who voted for leapards eating faces party, literally perfect fit for r/leopardsatemyface, you get what u voted for
Sigh.
Whilst dragging down the other half of us who didn’t vote for this either
@@zKsery Nobody is mad at good honest folk, just at the bigots who keep making life miserable for all of us Earthlings. The same thing happens here in the U.S. Eventually these greedy conservative-capitalists are going to have to learn that we don't need them. But without us they will cease to exist as such, and be poorer than the rest of us, because they are weak and inept from making others do all of the work.
Shortage of gas? I thought everybody hates gas now. Can't they just go to their local windmill and fill up there? With wind?
Yes... But Boris bought every wind he could find... Now they have wind shortage.
actually queries for EV went up 16 times in UK internet searches
All about cheap labour... The haulage company s don't want to pay anyone..
It takes 8-10 weeks to get a HGV license, train up those Brexit voters with a driving license, and make them take up the slack.
"UK to hire to foreign truck drivers amid Brexit supply shortages" Who writes these titles? I guess DW has the English title writer shortage.
Just a typo... _"two_ _truck_ _drivers"_
@@Michiel_de_Jong Or maybe "too truck drivers"
Now they’ve regained their sovereign back!,!
Truck drivers have to be willing to accept those visas. Gonna ask for better salaries.
Ya less available driver means more salary
@@shubhamranjan624 And more expensive drivers eventually means more expensive products in the stores.
The RHA have said that there are 60,000 UK Ex-HGV drivers out in the work place that have left the HGV industry because of Poor working conditions / Bad pay and bad treatment when working on the road, Visa's for immigrants is all well & good but we are looking at present day conditions which are not going to be solved over night by simply employing Immigrant drivers from the EU ...
There has been a shortage in HGV driver numbers for the past 30 years, successive governments have just
"Kicked that can down the road" and not addressed the on-going HGV industry issues ... !
They’ve also said they are getting Armed services drivers, but the RHA have estimated that there
are only around 2,000 HGV drivers in the armed services that are Digi Tachograph exempt … !
Entice UK HGV drivers back that have left the industry, and get rid of that money making CPC from DVLA / DVSA and all the supply problems will be solved ... SIMPLE !!!
When the world is becoming more intertwined, the UK decided to isolate itself. It's quite counter-intuitive really.
