HGV class 1 driver jobs in Fife

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 700 employee jobs in it across Fife, 0.52% of the 135,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Fife figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 3,500 warehousing and storage jobs in Fife, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Fife was £37,885 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 100 freight transport by road workplaces in Fife at the March 2025 reference date, 20 of them employing ten people or more. 80 of them, 80%, 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 Fife, 100 are part time, 14.3% of the split. The middle across Scotland is 19.5%, so Fife sits below it, 27th 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 Fife picture: 60 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 4,260 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.

Measured on employee jobs in freight transport by road, Fife ranks 10th of the 32 areas in Scotland. The middle across Scotland is 250, against 700 in Fife. Next to Fife in that order sit Aberdeenshire at 700 and Moray at 700.

On the separate business register count of freight transport by road workplaces, Fife ranks 8th of the 32 areas in Scotland. The middle across Scotland is 40, against 100 in Fife. Next to Fife in that order sit Glasgow City at 110 and Aberdeen City at 80.

None of this counts adverts. It counts 700 jobs and 100 workplaces that already exist in Fife, which is a different thing from what is open to apply for today.
