Petition Action

Stop training new HGV drivers until there are enough jobs to employ current ones

Petition Details

We have gone from one extreme to the other. Last year there weren't enough drivers to fill all the vacancies, and now due to a push to train up new drivers and a decline in the economy, there are now too many and not enough jobs.

Additional Information

You need to do this because its a complete waste of money to train up more drivers, and the recently trained drivers have completely wasted their time. We took the training because we thought it would be easy to find work, but its now impossible.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about an excess of people being trained to be HGV drivers, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

It is up to individuals whether to train as an HGV driver, not the UK Government or Parliament.
