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.

Market view. Class 1 pays above Class 2, nights above days, and ADR (tankers/hazardous) or HIAB tickets add further premiums. A current Driver CPC and digital tacho card are legal requirements employers verify as a matter of course; clean licences and assessed driving standards protect the premium end.
