HGV jobs in London and the South East

London and the South East are busy for HGV work. Depots, Heathrow cargo, retail, parcels. Firms need drivers. The traffic is worse. The pay is often better.

Pay around the capital

Qualified drivers in this region commonly sit at the higher end. Local figures we talk about are often £38,000 to £68,000, depending on Class 1, nights, and overtime. That is a range, not a contract.

See HGV training in London for the local page.

What the work looks like

• Night trunking in and out of the M25
• Retail and grocery into stores
• Airport and parcel hub work
• Some local Class 2 if you want shorter runs

Ask how much of the week is sitting in traffic. The wage can look good until the day is 14 hours of the North Circular.

Do you have to live in Zone 2?

No. A lot of people train and work from Essex, Kent, Surrey, or north of the M25. We look for a yard you can actually reach.
