HGV class 1 driver jobs in Ealing

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 800 employee jobs in it across Ealing, 0.63% of the 128,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

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

Median full-time pay for a job based in Ealing was £39,483 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 250 freight transport by road workplaces in Ealing at the March 2025 reference date, 10 of them employing ten people or more. 240 of them, 96%, employ under ten. Artic work here comes from small yards rather than network depots.

Of the freight transport by road employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Ealing, 125 are part time, 17.2% of the split. The middle across London is 20%, so Ealing sits below it, 26th of 33 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 Ealing picture: 480 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 3,030 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
