HGV class 1 driver jobs in Redbridge

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 350 employee jobs in it across Redbridge, 0.43% of the 82,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

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

Median full-time pay for a job based in Redbridge was £35,464 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 220 freight transport by road workplaces in Redbridge 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 Redbridge, 75 are part time, 20% of the split. The middle across London is 20%, so Redbridge sits level with it, 22nd 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 Redbridge picture: 115 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 515 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
