HGV class 1 driver jobs in Hull

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 800 employee jobs in it across Hull, 0.63% of the 126,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Hull figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 600 warehousing and storage jobs in Hull, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Hull was £33,946 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 200 freight transport by road workplaces in Hull at the March 2025 reference date, 25 of them employing ten people or more. 175 of them, 87.5%, employ under ten, a lower share than most areas, so more artic work sits with medium fleets running planned trunks.

Of the freight transport by road employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Hull, 100 are part time, 12.5% of the split. The middle across Yorkshire and The Humber is 13%, so Hull sits level with it, 10th of 15 areas on this measure. That is the shape most artic drivers would expect: full-time work with part-time hours around the edges.

Two further counts round out the Hull picture: 115 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 1,515 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.

Measured on employee jobs in freight transport by road, Hull ranks 11th of the 15 areas in Yorkshire and The Humber. The middle across Yorkshire and The Humber is 1,250, against 800 in Hull. Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 900. Next to Hull in that order sit Barnsley at 800 and Sheffield at 800.

On the separate business register count of freight transport by road workplaces, Hull ranks 13th of the 15 areas in Yorkshire and The Humber. The middle across Yorkshire and The Humber is 295, against 200 in Hull. Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 200. Next to Hull in that order sit Rotherham at 235 and Calderdale at 130.

None of this counts adverts. It counts 800 jobs and 200 workplaces that already exist in Hull, which is a different thing from what is open to apply for today.
