HGV class 1 driver jobs in Nottinghamshire

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 4,000 employee jobs in it across Nottinghamshire, 1.23% of the 324,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Nottinghamshire figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 10,000 warehousing and storage jobs in Nottinghamshire, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Nottinghamshire was £33,751 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 620 freight transport by road workplaces in Nottinghamshire at the March 2025 reference date, 65 of them employing ten people or more. 555 of them, 89.5%, employ under ten, which is the ordinary shape of haulage.

Of the freight transport by road employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Nottinghamshire, 800 are part time, 21.1% of the split. The middle across the East Midlands is 20.3%, so Nottinghamshire sits level with it, 4th of 10 areas on this measure. A part-time share that size usually reflects weekend trunking and relief cover counted alongside the permanent fleet.

Two further counts round out the Nottinghamshire picture: 635 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 14,635 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
