The hidden life of a lorry driver: long hours, robberies – and living for the weekend

The life of a lorry driver is nicely explored in this article from The Guardian. It not only humanises the profession, focusing on a long-term lorry driver who speaks fluently about how the profession has changed, his concerns about danger and theft and his often-tedious job of waiting, but it also cites the wider problems of recruiting drivers and the impact of the supply chain crisis on haulage companies. Worth a read.
