What the official data says about Swansea
Rigid lorry work turns up in two industries at once. Swansea holds 300 employee jobs in freight transport by road and 350 in warehousing and storage.
The balance between those two counts says more about class 2 work in Swansea than either number on its own. Warehousing outweighs road freight here, which usually means more distribution running out of large sites.
Freight, warehousing and courier work together come to 835 employee jobs in Swansea, out of 108,000 employee jobs in the area as a whole.
UK Business Counts recorded 75 freight transport by road workplaces in Swansea at the March 2025 reference date, 10 of them employing ten people or more. 65 of them, 86.7%, employ under ten, below the usual share, so rigid work leans towards operators big enough for fixed rounds.
Of the freight transport by road employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Swansea, 100 are part time, 36.4% of the split. The middle across Wales is 35.7%, so Swansea sits level with it, 10th of 22 areas on this measure. That is a high part-time share for road freight, which in an area this size usually reflects relief and seasonal rounds rather than a different kind of employer.
Two further counts round out the Swansea picture: 185 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 0.17% postal and courier activities, share of all employee jobs.
