Monthly salaries range from GBP 2,400 for regional day runs to GBP 3,600 for tramping and specialized loads (ADR, temperature-controlled). Since the post-Brexit driver shortage, wages have increased 15–20% across the sector. Some agencies offer even higher rates for temporary positions.

You need a Category C+E license (commonly called HGV Class 1). You also need a Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence), which requires 35 hours of training every 5 years. A digital tachograph card is mandatory.

EU drivers with settled or pre-settled status can continue working. New EU arrivals may need a visa depending on the job arrangement. Fyndaro’s platform clarifies eligibility requirements for each posted position.

Tramping means multi-day routes where you sleep in your cab rather than returning home daily. Tramping drivers typically earn GBP 300–500 more per month than day-run drivers. Companies are required to provide night-out allowances on top of base salary.

Wages have stabilized after the sharp increases of 2021–2023, but remain significantly higher than pre-Brexit levels. The structural shortage of 60,000 drivers means salaries are expected to remain competitive for the foreseeable future.
