Army HGV drivers ready to help restock supermarket shelves

The Army is on alert to help restock Britain’s depleted supermarket shelves.

The UK is suffering from a drastic shortage of HGV drivers.

Numbers of drivers are down by 100,000 because of Brexit, the pandemic, and workers being “pinged” by the NHS Track and Trace app.
