Dairy giant Arla says driver crisis hitting milk supply

Dairy giant Arla, which supplies milk to all major UK supermarkets, has said a lorry driver shortage has forced it to cut back on its deliveries.

"Our assessment is that we're in a driver shortage crisis and therefore we're asking for the industry and government to work together to recognise we're in a crisis and actually address the issue." "Unfortunately at the moment, there's about 10% of the stores every day that we can't deliver to. At the weekend, it's worse."He said it would be "tough and challenging" to get through the summer.Tesco offering lorry drivers a £1,000 joining bonusArla, through third-party hauliers, had "significantly increased" pay, including paying new drivers a £2,000 bonus if they were prepared to work weekends, Mr Amirahmadi said.

That explains why my lactofree milk is not in stock lately.
