It might put costs up a bit, but it is an obvious answer.
Now it just needs DVLA to sort out the backlog of HGV licence applications.

RHA claim there were 600,000 HGV drivers pre-pandemic? That doesn't seem right at all. Maybe 600K across all classes, but not HGV. And anyone can drive a 3.5 ton or a transit, no special licence needed there.Quote:

until we get our drivers trained and licenced we need a temp measure tho.Quote:

Better ease up on the tea brewing. :D
I think I might power wash the house and re-fill the swimming pool :)
When Mardale Green (at the bottom of Hawsewater for nearly 100 years) resurfaces, as it did in 2018, then I'll be worried.
