HGV class 1 driver jobs in Wandsworth

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Wandsworth figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Wandsworth was £43,035 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 45 freight transport by road workplaces in Wandsworth at the March 2025 reference date. Every one of them is recorded as employing under ten. Artic work here comes from small yards rather than network depots.
