About Driver Shortage & Driver Shortage Statistics

Driver Shortage is maintained by Dave, a qualified Class C licence holder within the United Kingdom.

Driver Shortage is managed by DBFCS.co.uk Website, Content and Advertising Management.

Driver Shortage was set up in late 2004 to assist in the increase of HGV drivers within Great Britain.

The truck driver shortage was then estimated at 80,000 qualified truck drivers. This shortage of drivers is still bad though it has been recently reported to be getting better.

Whilst we do not provide any services, we do provide advice on how to get your HGV licence and how to get jobs and careers from it. We also make recommendations on which HGV driver training firms to use.

All content has been gathered from printed sources as well as sources across the Internet. It has been collated to be informative and as accurate as possible.
