If you’ve been looking into Class 2 driver jobs, chances are you’re ready to kickstart or level up your HGV driving career. Whether you’re newly qualified or have years behind the wheel, there’s never been a better time to find solid, consistent work as a Class 2 driver.
At Avail Logistics, we work with transport companies across the UK — helping professional drivers like you find well-paid, flexible and long-term roles that actually suit your lifestyle.
Let’s break down what Class 2 driving involves, where the jobs are, and why it’s a brilliant choice right now.
What Is a Class 2 Driver?
A Class 2 (Category C) licence allows you to drive rigid vehicles over 7.5 tonnes, with a trailer up to 750kg.
These are the trucks you’ll often see delivering to construction sites, warehouses, or supermarkets — think tippers, box trucks, curtain siders and skips.
If you’re just getting into HGV driving, Class 2 driver jobs are the perfect starting point. You’ll gain experience with large vehicles, work regular shifts, and build the confidence needed to progress to a Class 1 (C+E) licence later on.
How Much Do Class 2 Drivers Get Paid?
The pay for Class 2 drivers has risen in recent years — and for good reason. Skilled, reliable drivers are in high demand across the logistics industry.
At Avail, Class 2 drivers typically earn between £15 and £23 per hour, depending on:
- Your experience
- The type of work (tipper, skip, or multi-drop)
- Whether the role is PAYE, Maxipay or LTD
- Shift patterns (day work, nights, or tramping)
Some employers even offer temp-to-perm contracts, meaning you can transition from agency work into a secure full-time position.
