HGV class 1 driver jobs in York

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the York figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 30 warehousing and storage jobs in York, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in York was £39,337 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 York at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 40 of them, 88.9%, 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 York, 20 are part time, 16.7% of the split.

A part-time share that size usually reflects weekend trunking and relief cover counted alongside the permanent fleet.

Two further counts round out the York picture: 105 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 260 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
