HGV class 1 driver jobs in Buckinghamshire

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 1,000 employee jobs in it across Buckinghamshire, 0.42% of the 239,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Buckinghamshire figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 1,750 warehousing and storage jobs in Buckinghamshire, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Buckinghamshire was £40,365 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 290 freight transport by road workplaces in Buckinghamshire at the March 2025 reference date, 20 of them employing ten people or more. 270 of them, 93.1%, 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 Buckinghamshire, 300 are part time, 27.3% of the split. The middle across the South East is 23.1%, so Buckinghamshire sits above it, 4th of 19 areas on this measure. A part-time share that size usually reflects weekend trunking and relief cover counted alongside the permanent fleet.

Two further counts round out the Buckinghamshire picture: 950 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 3,700 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
