HGV class 1 driver jobs in Westminster

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 250 employee jobs in it across Westminster, 0.03% of the 814,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Westminster figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 700 warehousing and storage jobs in Westminster, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Westminster was £53,923 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 95 freight transport by road workplaces in Westminster at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 90 of them, 94.7%, 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 Westminster, 45 are part time, 16.7% of the split. The middle across London is 20%, so Westminster sits below it, 31st of 33 areas on this measure. A part-time share that size usually reflects weekend trunking and relief cover counted alongside the permanent fleet.

Two further counts round out the Westminster picture: 240 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 1,190 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
