Tesco is offering lorry drivers a £1,000 joining bonus amid a chronic shortage of drivers in the industry.
The supermarket giant has deployed the recruitment incentive for candidates who join before 30 September.
Other companies are also understood to be offering similar incentives for HGV drivers after disruption to supply chains led to product shortages.
Morrisons said it was working on schemes to train staff to become lorry drivers.
The Road Haulage Association (RHA) has estimated there is a 100,000 shortage of HGV drivers across the UK.
The industry body has said some 30,000 HGV driving tests did not take place last year because of the coronavirus pandemic, and added a historic shortage in drivers had been exacerbated by changes to rules following Brexit.
JJ Foodservice has added 20 new trucks to its fleet of 140 delivery vehicles
JJ Foodservice has invested more than £1m in 20 state-of-the-art, lorries amid record sales as coronavirus restrictions ease.
The 13.5-tonne Isuzu trucks will bolster its 140-strong fleet across the London-based wholesaler’s 11 UK depots.
JJ’s sales for the week ending 21 May were up 32% compared with the same period in 2019, as hospitality venues were allowed to re-open indoor seating areas.
“There’s been a fantastic appetite for eating out again,” said JJ Foodservice head of operations Kaan Hendekli. “Brits are expected to spend even more than they did in 2019, which is great news for the UK hospitality sector. “Our team has been working hard to fulfil every order and we’re moving full steam ahead to help expand our support to even more UK eateries.”
