HGV class 1 driver jobs in Denbighshire

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 175 employee jobs in it across Denbighshire, 0.41% of the 43,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Denbighshire figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 100 warehousing and storage jobs in Denbighshire, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Denbighshire was £32,981 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 65 freight transport by road workplaces in Denbighshire at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 60 of them, 92.3%, 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 Denbighshire, 75 are part time, 42.9% of the split. The middle across Wales is 35.7%, so Denbighshire sits above it, 6th of 22 areas on this measure. That is a high part-time share for road freight, and in a local industry this size a handful of jobs moves the proportion a long way.

Two further counts round out the Denbighshire picture: 5 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 280 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.

Measured on employee jobs in freight transport by road, Denbighshire ranks 15th of the 22 areas in Wales. The middle across Wales is 325, against 175 in Denbighshire. Next to Denbighshire in that order sit Monmouthshire at 250 and Torfaen at 150.

On the separate business register count of freight transport by road workplaces, Denbighshire ranks 12th of the 22 areas in Wales. The middle across Wales is 70, against 65 in Denbighshire. Next to Denbighshire in that order sit Swansea at 75 and Conwy at 45.

None of this counts adverts. It counts 175 jobs and 65 workplaces that already exist in Denbighshire, which is a different thing from what is open to apply for today.
