HGV class 1 driver jobs in Angus

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 350 employee jobs in it across Angus, 0.97% of the 36,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Angus figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 50 warehousing and storage jobs in Angus, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Angus was £34,692 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 45 freight transport by road workplaces in Angus at the March 2025 reference date, 10 of them employing ten people or more. 35 of them, 77.8%, employ under ten, well below the usual shape of the trade. Artic work in Angus is concentrated in larger fleets, and larger fleets bring planners and set shifts.

Of the freight transport by road employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Angus, 75 are part time, 23.1% of the split. The middle across Scotland is 19.5%, so Angus sits above it, 11th of 32 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 Angus picture: 35 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 435 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
