What the official data says about Doncaster

C1 rounds straddle two counts. Doncaster has 200 employee jobs in postal and courier activities and 2,500 in freight transport by road, and 7.5 tonne work is run out of both.

Parcel and wholesale operations are where most C1 rounds sit. In Doncaster the courier side alone is 0.15% of the 131,000 employee jobs the survey counts locally.

Across all occupations in Doncaster, median full-time pay was £33,802 a year in 2025. That is the whole local labour market rather than this job, and there is no published local figure for this job to set beside it.

UK Business Counts recorded 415 postal and courier activities workplaces in Doncaster at the March 2025 reference date. Every one of them is recorded as employing under ten. C1 rounds run out of the few depots, not the long tail.

Of the postal and courier activities employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Doncaster, 60 are part time, 30% of the split. The middle across Yorkshire and The Humber is 26.2%, so Doncaster sits above it, 6th of 15 areas on this measure. A part-time share this size is common in parcel work, where rounds are built to cover peaks rather than to fill a working week.

Two further counts round out the Doncaster picture: 10,000 employee jobs in warehousing and storage, and 12,700 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.

Next to Doncaster in that order sit East Riding of Yorkshire at 235 and North Yorkshire at 190.

The 7.5 tonne driver role

A 7.5 tonne rigid on category C1 is the bridge between a van and a lorry. The rounds are local, the drop counts are high and the vehicle is small enough to get down streets an artic could not attempt.
