C1 rounds straddle two counts. Hampshire has 1,925 employee jobs in postal and courier activities and 3,500 in freight transport by road, and 7.5 tonne work is run out of both.

Across all occupations in Hampshire, median full-time pay was £39,324 a year in 2025. That is the whole local labour market rather than this job, and there is no published local figure for this job to set beside it.

The 7.5 tonne driver role
A 7.5 tonne rigid on category C1 is the bridge between a van and a lorry. The rounds are local, the drop counts are high and the vehicle is small enough to get down streets an artic could not attempt.
