Description: Britain is expected to announce plans to issue temporary work visas to truck drivers to ease an acute labour shortage that has led to fuel rationing at hundreds of gas stations and long queues to fill up - with pumps running dry in some places. Shortages of truckers have been caused partly by Brexit and Covid-19, which put a stop to driver training and testing for about a year.
