Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.
Indicatively £24,000–£34,000, with VNA/reach tickets, nights and cold-store work at the top.
VNA (man-up) and reach typically pay above counterbalance; holding all three keeps you busiest.
Accredited certificates are typically refreshed every 3–5 years, and employers expect an in-date ticket for the truck type you will drive.
