HGV class 1 driver jobs in Ceredigion

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 75 employee jobs in it across Ceredigion, 0.28% of the 27,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Ceredigion figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 10 warehousing and storage jobs in Ceredigion, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Ceredigion was £32,688 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 Ceredigion at the March 2025 reference date. Every one of them is recorded as employing 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 Ceredigion, 30 are part time, 42.9% of the split. The middle across Wales is 35.7%, so Ceredigion sits above it, 5th of 22 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 Ceredigion picture: 30 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 115 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.

Measured on employee jobs in freight transport by road, Ceredigion ranks 18th of the 22 areas in Wales. The middle across Wales is 325, against 75 in Ceredigion. Next to Ceredigion in that order sit Gwynedd at 125 and Conwy at 75.

On the separate business register count of freight transport by road workplaces, Ceredigion ranks 18th of the 22 areas in Wales. The middle across Wales is 70, against 40 in Ceredigion. Next to Ceredigion in that order sit Vale of Glamorgan at 45 and Torfaen at 40.

None of this counts adverts. It counts 75 jobs and 40 workplaces that already exist in Ceredigion, which is a different thing from what is open to apply for today.
