7.5 tonne driver jobs in Derbyshire

C1 rounds straddle two counts. Derbyshire has 375 employee jobs in postal and courier activities and 4,000 in freight transport by road, and 7.5 tonne work is run out of both.

Parcel and wholesale operations are where most C1 rounds sit. In Derbyshire the courier side alone is 0.12% of the 304,000 employee jobs the survey counts locally.

Across all occupations in Derbyshire, median full-time pay was £36,011 a year in 2025. That is the whole local labour market rather than this job, and there is no published local figure for this job to set beside it.

Business counts are rounded one cell at a time, so the bands sit loosely against the total. 220 of them, 97.8%, employ under ten. C1 rounds run out of the few depots, not the long tail.
