UK: One truck driver in six is over 55

This is one of the findings from a recent report by Skills for Logistics.
The same report shows that only 8% of driver vacancies last year were filled by new recruits and warns that truck operators must plan ahead if they are to avoid a severe shortage of drivers. 80% of truck driver jobs advertised last year were taken by experienced drivers, mostly within a month.
"This high level of mobility in the industry suggests that drivers are quick to move from one employer to the next and could be causing complacency amongst employers," said Ian Hetherington, chief executive at Skills for Logistics.
While the number of firms trying to find staff dropped from 40% in 2005 to 30% in 2006, the number of truck driving vacancies jumped 95% in June 2007 compared with the same month in 2006.
