HGV class 1 driver jobs in Flintshire

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 700 employee jobs in it across Flintshire, 1% of the 70,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Flintshire figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 1,500 warehousing and storage jobs in Flintshire, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Flintshire was £39,426 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 130 freight transport by road workplaces in Flintshire at the March 2025 reference date, 25 of them employing ten people or more. Business counts are rounded one cell at a time, so the bands sit loosely against the total. 110 of them, 84.6%, 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 Flintshire, 175 are part time, 25.9% of the split. The middle across Wales is 35.7%, so Flintshire sits below it, 18th of 22 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 Flintshire picture: 235 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 2,435 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
