Trucking Troubles

There is a huge shortage of lorry drivers. Driver Tom tells Leanna what life behind the wheel is really like. Plus how shortages are impacting pubs, car makers and even theatres.

Today's Wake Up To Money looks at how shortages are impacting different industries. While some are struggling to recruit, others can't get the goods they need.
Tom talks about what life is like behind the wheel of an HGV and says despite a recent £7 an hour pay rise, he still wants to leave the industry.
Leanna Byrne hears how a lack of staff is also causing some restaurants and pubs to close or limit their hours
And the boss of a Nottingham theatre explains how even building sets is getting difficult because of a huge rise in the cost of wood and a shortage of many other materials.

Plus Cat Lewis, boss of Manchester based TV production company Nine Lives Media on proposals to privatise Channel 4 and the future of Â鶹ÊÓƵAV 3.
