So, a random citizen from the UK that Brexit'ed in order to "control their borders" is blaming the French for ... controlling their borders. Don't they teach the meaning of the word hypocrite in British schools?
@@joeegg90 I'm not sure if the lady is a racist or not. But what I suspect is that the hypocrisy in the UK has become so mainstream and normal that is has become so trivial that people don't even recognize it as such anymore. Hypocrisy & lying has become the new normal in the UK.
@@Andrew-vx2ls Hence the hypocrisy. Personally, I think the whole of the UK is so deep down that rabbit hole that it will stay there.

Here's a solution. Put all the goods on trains: those only need 1 driver per train and they're much better for the environment. Oh no, wait! The Tories destroyed the train network in the 60s too! Great track record (pun intended).
@@matthewyabsley It would help though because a truck driving a load to a railway line can then go and pick up another load while the train takes it further, so the driver will be more productive and loads will move more quickly.
@@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.

I was a trucker 20 years and hung my keys up permanent!

I'll never pick my keys up again !
We’ll done.. Drivers were abused by there employers and the industry as a hole.. The industry is paying the price now.. I do believe we’re going to see a lot of haulage companies going to the wall..

No idea how right you are in your claim of voting intentions but British drivers have benefitted from brexit. An all to common case of freedom of movement being exploited by deliberately under regulated employers to surpress wages and now wages are going up by necessity.
@@Grandude77 British drivers (and ANY lorry driver actually) now are "allowed" to drive more than before to fix the shortage of lorry drivers. Where "allowed" is likely to mean "forced". And this should be an advantage, or an improvement for them?
@@Grandude77 Where do you get that false information from? Many British drivers are no longer able to work outside of the UK (=they are no longer allowed to deliver anything to the EU which severely limits their market value since hauliers of course value a driver that is able to work cross borders a lot higher than a driver who cannot). And they are pressed into working even more hours under shitty conditions. It's obvious that you have no clue about the industry in general and truck driving in particular.
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".
That´s basically happening everywhere, because capitalism. But it seems only the UK was dumb enough to make the issue explode in the worst possible way.

The French are always responsible, according to such people (min 6'36'').

The French can hardly do any worse than the current British government, whose members can then retrain as lorry drivers.

I think it was a matter of immediate survival. And the government should be making the people on benefits who are able train as lorry drivers. That should pump up their ranks considerably.
Funny how paying more doesn't even enter the debate. They complain, want subsidies , the army should help , etc. But paying more ?....That's ridiculous somehow .
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.

SO, People knew why they voted for stupid Brexit. And , it really is stupid , greed that 100% I voted Brexit, yes another idiot. But to REMAIN and vote REMAIN would have been an endorsement of what Being in the EU has really done to some people in the UK.

Those who were negatively affected by the EU were effected to the detriment of their lives by a HUGE margin. House price rise and reduced pay gave these people the dumb option , vote Brexit.
the problem is even with enough drivers the wait to get through controls will always slow it down and people sometimes need things, right now. which is impossible with the extra paperwork.
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.
Quite apart from that, there is also a certain shortage of drivers within the EU, so it is not a problem for many drivers to get a job within the EU without all the new paperwork.
@@stevenm7881 Brexit I lost C and CE Even though Spain are short on drivers too. Couldn't actually careless as after 22 years in the industry I wouldn't return for love nor money.

The original aim of Brexit has been to cut ties with UKs European neighbors: The EUSSR, as they call us and the EU. The reduction of trade with UKs local 27 EU members has been considered a good thing at the time. What happens now is exactly that. The economic interdependency - established since 1979? - is coming down. Nothing to complain about from a standpoint of a Brexiteer. Everything is going as planned (irony off).

It's not only about the cheap price of labour of Drivers. It's also about the price/supply elasticity. If increasing the pay by x doesn't increase supply proportionally or over proportionally it might be not smart to actually increase the pay. Investing into heavier trucks or diversifying might be much more profitable.
I would think that refurbishing one of the old hovercrafts would be cheaper in the long run than using helicopters. But of course there will still be the lorry driver problem. Pay them 20£ per hour and there will be no shortage.
Companies can take a loan or get investment based on future earnings generated from that extra funding if the bank or investor think they have a viable business plan. Business 101. Unlike you they don't need to pay out of pocket or from a salary-limited personal loan. If it generates enough cash it can afford those helicopters, if not they'll be repossessed or sold and written off.

They have other options: relocate trucks to EU member states. That means that British trucks driven by EU citizens then again will be driven by EU citizens. But the taxes will shift from UK to EU. Well done.
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.

From what I see Britain will have a lot of problems in a years to come because to make someone a lorry driver safely takes at least 2 years in training. Otherwise is not safe. Some of those lorries have more than 40 tons! Would you like a complete amateur behind the wheel? I don’t think so… Brexit and kicking foreigners out wan’t a very wise move, was it? Brexiters wanted control and no foreigners. Now you will cry to get foreigners back and you will have no control. The UK has no seat by the EU table anymore to make any decisions. You are a third party and only that. Thanks to xenophobia now business owners who had never voted Leave have a lots of problems and some of them go bankrupt. Where is the responsibility of British government for lies, deceit and far-fetched consequences of Brexit campaign? Blaming other countries for their shortcomings during negotiations is a low blow. Boris should blame himself and take responsibility for his lies and his irresponsible decisions for once. What this rich, privileged chap who has no idea about real life does out there, have a very huge impact on normal British citizens. You need to make clueless elites stop ruling you and elect someone who cares about people and has some political skills.
This could have been prevented, I say this as German who regrets Brexit but have no qualms. My son is a professional driver (3-year-apprenticeship) - This all could have been resolved with the help of a good deal that would have suited both.

@@FalkeEins brexiters claim the EU is incapable of reforming itself at the same time they are claiming it morphed from EEC to EU and is constantly changing to usurp the individual countries and become 1.mega empire. So you cannot take a single brexiter serious in his claims.
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! So, dear UK people, you're fooked, and I don't think anybody realizes how bad it's going to get, otherwise you'd all be in the streets now with your torches and pitchforks.

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.
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.

6:30 Oh so it was the French that voted for Brexit was it. I had no idea I thought it was UK citizens who voted Leave. Silly me. But of course now it makes sense and obviously everything that is now a consequence of the Brexit vote is the fault of the French. Not the Dutch or Germans, Belgians or Italians but the French.
Due to the influx of HGV drivers, they slashed the wage bill meaning that many UK drivers wages are paid the same as 10 years ago and it pays more to stack supermarket shelves.
Lovely man at Alcaline, he explained it well👌 The woman in Dover holds the French responsible for the Brexit border consequences?!?! Now that is the British logic we have come to get very acquainted with these last few years😂😂😂😂😂 I would love to see the journalist end every interview with asking the person what they voted for in the Brexit referendum😉 Btw, we don't have shortage of lorry drivers in Sweden, possibly because we don't make any difference between Swedish or Lithuanian drivers, everyone are paid equally and according to what the strong union has negotiated. 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.
First off the nation voted for all the problems Brexit would bring with it. Next they voted for Boris "The Buffoon" Johnson to lead them into this brave new Shangri-La. Hahahahahahaha!
10.55 he hits the nail on the head ,we normally look outside the UK for drivers because he says unfortunately there are not enough drivers in the UK .Why is that ? because companies like his have never invested in their own young people who want to enter the industry but are not encouraged to do so .Only now that there is a crisis all of a sudden training programs are under way
The only person who would have made the mainstream media would be the lady who blamed it all on the French. All the actual professional views, solutions and comments would be totally ignored.
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.

Here's a solution. Put all the goods on trains: those only need 1 driver per train and they're much better for the environment. Oh no, wait! The Tories destroyed the train network in the 60s too! Great track record (pun intended).
How did they destroy the train network?
You need lorry drivers to drive goods to trains, then unload and drive to destination. Solves nothing.
They've done it recently as well...privatised to give cash to their buddies...
@@matthewyabsley It would help though because a truck driving a load to a railway line can then go and pick up another load while the train takes it further, so the driver will be more productive and loads will move more quickly.
@@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.

No, a decline in working conditions is obviously not a benefit.
@@Grandude77 Where do you get that false information from? Many British drivers are no longer able to work outside of the UK (=they are no longer allowed to deliver anything to the EU which severely limits their market value since hauliers of course value a driver that is able to work cross borders a lot higher than a driver who cannot). And they are pressed into working even more hours under shitty conditions.
It's obvious that you have no clue about the industry in general and truck driving in particular.
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.

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.

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.

Those who were negatively affected by the EU were effected to the detriment of their lives by a HUGE margin.
House price rise and reduced pay gave these people the dumb option , vote Brexit.

just look at north korea! they have a concept of juiche self reliance look how good they are doing! 😆
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.
Quite apart from that, there is also a certain shortage of drivers within the EU, so it is not a problem for many drivers to get a job within the EU without all the new paperwork.
My D category stayed valid when I moved to Belgium 15 years ago. What changed?

The original aim of Brexit has been to cut ties with UKs European neighbors: The EUSSR, as they call us and the EU. The reduction of trade with UKs local 27 EU members has been considered a good thing at the time. What happens now is exactly that. The economic interdependency - established since 1979? - is coming down. Nothing to complain about from a standpoint of a Brexiteer. Everything is going as planned (irony off).

Pay cheap no drivers lol 😂 it's been like that for years 🙄 But it's strange how Aculine can afford a helicopter 🤔
It's not only about the cheap price of labour of Drivers. It's also about the price/supply elasticity. If increasing the pay by x doesn't increase supply proportionally or over proportionally it might be not smart to actually increase the pay. Investing into heavier trucks or diversifying might be much more profitable.
I would think that refurbishing one of the old hovercrafts would be cheaper in the long run than using helicopters. But of course there will still be the lorry driver problem. Pay them 20£ per hour and there will be no shortage.
Companies can take a loan or get investment based on future earnings generated from that extra funding if the bank or investor think they have a viable business plan. Business 101. Unlike you they don't need to pay out of pocket or from a salary-limited personal loan.
If it generates enough cash it can afford those helicopters, if not they'll be repossessed or sold and written off.

They have other options: relocate trucks to EU member states.
That means that British trucks driven by EU citizens then again will be driven by EU citizens. But the taxes will shift from UK to EU. Well done.
and maintenance / repairs will also be split, more work for the EU ...
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.

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!

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 you already have those 50k new customs staff - Gove said you'd have them by the end of 2020 and he surely wouldn't lie.

11:21 More jobs and tax revenue for the EU... But we have blue passports, so that's OK.
Don’t forget the happy British fish

Can't be hitting Alcaline's business too badly, the Lamborghini Urus parked behind the helicopter was only purchased 6 weeks ago 😂
When in doubt, blame the French. No prize for guessing what she voted for.
Noting wrong with blaming the French that's what they were invented for.

@@Evemeister12 Ooh did you think of that all by yourself or did an adult help you.
More low paid lorry drivers are urgently needed to deliver all the useless crap that everyone now buys online.
Well said that’s society now a days crap
The government need to talk to each other to sort out this mess they are too busy trying to profit from it and dont care.
You think things will improve if the current lot starts planning together?

Lovely man at Alcaline, he explained it well👌
The woman in Dover holds the French responsible for the Brexit border consequences?!?! Now that is the British logic we have come to get very acquainted with these last few years😂😂😂😂😂
I would love to see the journalist end every interview with asking the person what they voted for in the Brexit referendum😉
Btw, we don't have shortage of lorry drivers in Sweden, possibly because we don't make any difference between Swedish or Lithuanian drivers, everyone are paid equally and according to what the strong union has negotiated. 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.
First off the nation voted for all the problems Brexit would bring with it. Next they voted for Boris "The Buffoon" Johnson to lead them into this brave new Shangri-La. Hahahahahahaha!
10.55 he hits the nail on the head ,we normally look outside the UK for drivers because he says unfortunately there are not enough drivers in the UK .Why is that ? because companies like his have never invested in their own young people who want to enter the industry but are not encouraged to do so .Only now that there is a crisis all of a sudden training programs are under way
The french??! How are they responsible?😂
It is called British exceptionalism. "Foreigners cannot come here, but when I visit France I am not a foreigner, because I'm British!"
The only person who would have made the mainstream media would be the lady who blamed it all on the French. All the actual professional views, solutions and comments would be totally ignored.
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.
