What the official data says about Highland
Rigid lorry work turns up in two industries at once. Highland holds 900 employee jobs in freight transport by road and 450 in warehousing and storage.
The balance between those two counts says more about class 2 work in Highland than either number on its own. Warehousing sits below road freight here, which usually means more general haulage and less own-account distribution.
Freight, warehousing and courier work together come to 1,615 employee jobs in Highland, out of 117,000 employee jobs in the area as a whole.
UK Business Counts recorded 125 freight transport by road workplaces in Highland at the March 2025 reference date, 25 of them employing ten people or more. Business counts are rounded one cell at a time, so the bands sit loosely against the total. 105 of them, 84%, 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 Highland, 150 are part time, 17.6% of the split. The middle across Scotland is 19.5%, so Highland sits below it, 20th of 32 areas on this measure. A part-time share around this level usually means relief and weekend rounds counted alongside the permanent drivers.
Two further counts round out the Highland picture: 265 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 0.23% postal and courier activities, share of all employee jobs.
