HGV class 1 driver jobs in Hackney

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 175 employee jobs in it across Hackney, 0.1% of the 168,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Hackney figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 1,250 warehousing and storage jobs in Hackney, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Hackney was £48,724 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 120 freight transport by road workplaces in Hackney at the March 2025 reference date, 0 of them employing ten people or more. Business counts are rounded one cell at a time, so the bands sit loosely against the total. 115 of them, 95.8%, 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 Hackney, 35 are part time, 21.9% of the split. The middle across London is 20%, so Hackney sits above it, 7th 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 Hackney picture: 125 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 1,550 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.

Measured on employee jobs in freight transport by road, Hackney ranks 23rd of the 33 areas in London. The middle across London is 250, against 175 in Hackney. Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 900. Next to Hackney in that order sit Bromley at 175 and Islington at 150.

On the separate business register count of freight transport by road workplaces, Hackney ranks 16th of the 33 areas in London. The middle across London is 100, against 120 in Hackney.

None of this counts adverts. It counts 175 jobs and 120 workplaces that already exist in Hackney, which is a different thing from what is open to apply for today.
