However, the government insists the lack of truck drivers is a temporary issue, and it is much due to the Covid-19 pandemic and will be solved soon with appropriate investment and long-term training.

The British government has announced that fuel tanker and food truck drivers will become qualified to work in the UK for three months. The UK needs a workforce during the Christmas season, and they have plans to extend the seasonal work visa to 5,500 poultry workers.
