He argued that Brexit was not the reason the country was currently facing a crisis. The caller claimed that it was rather the IR35 reform was the root cause.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span>He said the exodus of drivers was due to the Government taking away limited companies and European drivers then choosing to return to their European countries because of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The caller said: &#8220;The one thing that I wanted to mention is that this mass exodus of drivers, this never happened with Brexit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We still had all the drivers, there was no loss.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This happened when the Government decided to take limited companies away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DON&#8217;T MISS:&nbsp;Boris urged to &#8216;designate fuel stations&#8217; for key workers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/theme\/Mobile\/img\/page\/placeholder-horizontal.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/139\/590x\/Brexit-HGV-driver-1497305.jpg?r=1632756868128\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know quite a few drivers where I&#8217;ve worked in the agency area all the time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They have gone home with bounce back loans that everybody else has got to pay for and it is all guaranteed by the Government.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why would you want to come back?
