HGV class 1 driver jobs in Stirling

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 250 employee jobs in it across Stirling, 0.54% of the 46,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Stirling figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 40 warehousing and storage jobs in Stirling, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Stirling was £39,220 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 40 freight transport by road workplaces in Stirling at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 35 of them, 87.5%, 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 Stirling, 35 are part time, 14.9% of the split. The middle across Scotland is 19.5%, so Stirling sits below it, 25th of 32 areas on this measure. That is the shape most artic drivers would expect: full-time work with part-time hours around the edges.

Two further counts round out the Stirling picture: 65 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 355 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.

Measured on employee jobs in freight transport by road, Stirling ranks 18th of the 32 areas in Scotland. The middle across Scotland is 250, against 250 in Stirling. Next to Stirling in that order sit Perth and Kinross at 250 and Dundee City at 200.

On the separate business register count of freight transport by road workplaces, Stirling ranks 18th of the 32 areas in Scotland. The middle across Scotland is 40, against 40 in Stirling. Next to Stirling in that order sit Moray at 40 and Argyll and Bute at 35.

None of this counts adverts. It counts 250 jobs and 40 workplaces that already exist in Stirling, which is a different thing from what is open to apply for today.
