HGV class 1 driver jobs in Wokingham

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 250 employee jobs in it across Wokingham, 0.28% of the 90,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

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

Median full-time pay for a job based in Wokingham was £46,574 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 75 freight transport by road workplaces in Wokingham at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 70 of them, 93.3%, 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 Wokingham, 75 are part time, 30% of the split. The middle across the South East is 23.1%, so Wokingham sits above it, 2nd of 19 areas on this measure. That is a high part-time share for road freight, and in a local industry this size a handful of jobs moves the proportion a long way.

Two further counts round out the Wokingham picture: 140 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 640 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
