HGV training in Birmingham and the Midlands

Why the Midlands has so much HGV work, what Class 2 and Class 1 look like, and how to train near Birmingham.

The Midlands sits in the middle of UK haulage. Warehouses, the M6, the M42, grocery trunks. If you live in Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, or nearby, you are not short of lorries.

Why people train here

Work is close. You can often stay local. Class 2 multi-drop and Class 1 trunking both exist. Typical pay we talk about for the region is around £35,000 to £58,000.

Read the Birmingham training page if you want the local snapshot.

What to ask on the call

  • Which yard is actually near your house?
  • Is the work nights, or can you do days?
  • Class 2 first, or is Class 1 realistic where you live?

Do not train 90 minutes away if there is a yard 20 minutes away.
