it's strange why you stopped there at 42000?
"...fell to 42,000 in early 2020, possibly related to Brexit. From March to June 2020, the number of EU HGV
drivers declined by another 15,000, to 25,000, recovering only slightly to 28,000 by the end of the year."
so the number at the end is not 42000, but 28000
also add to the Brexit benefit list of HGV drivers having to go through through the monstrous lorry parks takes much longer, thus decreasing the availability of drivers - adds to the problem
IR35 is a bloody pain along with the loan charge, with HMRC implementing retrospective taxation
