Default Re: Shortage of truck drivers in Australia?

I did an apprenticeship as a mechanic and left as soon as I had my licence. Lousy wages and working conditions. Now there are so few labor charges are going up rapidly and hopefully some of it is filtering through.

That's a market economy working. Hopefully it'll happen for truckies. They have been treated like rubbish for decades.

Unfortunately what often happens these days is they drop standards rather than increase wages. You already have dangerous people driving some trucks and I think that will get worse.
