It is to the freight industry’s shame that some of its key workers are on ridiculously low wages – if it cannot pay a driver more than €150 a month, then that job should probably not exist. The reality, of course, is that this a tale of exploitation; of the largest companies using their mighty buying power to force down costs to the extent that it is having a material impact on the people and subcontractors working for them.
