HGV class 1 driver jobs in North Tyneside

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 500 employee jobs in it across North Tyneside, 0.57% of the 88,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the North Tyneside figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 400 warehousing and storage jobs in North Tyneside, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in North Tyneside was £37,005 a year in 2025, across every occupation in the area together. It is not a driving figure, and no local driving figure is published anywhere, because earnings are not broken down by occupation at this level.

UK Business Counts recorded 30 freight transport by road workplaces in North Tyneside at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 25 of them, 83.3%, employ under ten, a lower share than most areas, so more artic work sits with medium fleets running planned trunks.
