Whatever is on your licence, there is usually work for it around Nuneaton. WSUK places Class 1, Class 2, 7.5t and van drivers at depots near Nuneaton — days, nights and trunking — on weekly PAYE pay with no fee to you.
Driving jobs around Nuneaton run across four licence categories: van (B), 7.5 tonne (C1), Class 2 rigid (C) and Class 1 articulated (C+E). Rates near Nuneaton typically run £12.71—£14.00 an hour for van work, £13.00—£15.00 for 7.5t, £16.00—£20.00 for Class 2 and £18.00—£24.00 for Class 1. Anything over 3.5t needs a Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card. WSUK pays weekly through PAYE and it never costs you anything to apply.
Nuneaton sits on the historic A5 Watling Street with direct M6 access at Junction 3, placing it on the corridor between Coventry, Leicester and the Golden Triangle. The town's economy leans heavily on distribution and light manufacturing: Bermuda Park blends trade counters, retail sheds and logistics units, while Attleborough Fields and the Bowling Green Industrial Estate host warehousing, engineering and parcel operations. Holland & Barrett is headquartered locally, and the nearby MIRA Technology Park at Hinckley pulls automotive supply-chain traffic through the area. Rail links via Nuneaton station and the Birmingham-Peterborough line add freight capacity, while proximity to Bedworth, Coventry and Hinckley means drivers routinely cross the CV postcodes on multi-drop and trunk work every day.
When a Nuneaton operator loses a driver to illness or faces a seasonal surge, an empty cab quickly becomes missed deliveries and idle bays. WSUK fills temporary driving jobs across every class - C+E (Class 1) artics, C (Class 2) rigids, 7.5-tonne C1 and van/multi-drop - often at short notice. Every driver we place is vetted with DVLA licence and Driver CPC checks, right-to-work verification and reference screening before their first shift. We run PAYE payroll and manage tachograph and working-time compliance, so you avoid the admin and the risk. Whether you need one driver for a fortnight or a squad through a Christmas peak, we scale supply up and down as your demand moves.
The category on your licence decides the vehicle, but the type of work decides what the day actually looks like. These are the three shapes most driving jobs take.
Point-to-point running between depots, often overnight, usually the same route each shift. Little or no handball, predictable hours, and the bulk of Class 1 agency work.
Ten to eighty drops a shift depending on the vehicle and the round. More physical, more customer contact, and the bulk of van, 7.5t and Class 2 work.
Yard shunting on trade plates, tramping away from home for several nights, and specialist work like ADR, HIAB or container haulage that carries its own premium.
From Bermuda Park to Attleborough Fields, Nuneaton employers turn to WSUK when a driver calls in sick or a contract win outpaces the rota. We know the CV10 and CV11 industrial estates, the A5 and M6 J3 routes, and the mix of retail-distribution, parcel and manufacturing work that shapes local demand - so the temporary drivers we send arrive ready to work.
Tell us what you hold and we will only send you work that matches it. If you are partway through upgrading — say from C to C+E — tell us that too, because a lot of operators will take a Class 2 driver now and move them onto Class 1 work when the licence lands.
Indicative PAYE rates as a guide — actual pay varies by shift, experience and site, with premiums for nights, weekends and bank holidays. Every rate we advertise is at or above the National Living Wage.
| Role | Indicative pay |
|---|---|
| Van / Multi-Drop Driver | £12.71–£14.00 / hr |
| 7.5t (C1) Driver | £13.00–£15.00 / hr |
| Class 2 (C) HGV Driver | £16.00–£20.00 / hr |
| Class 1 (C+E) HGV Driver | £18.00–£24.00 / hr |
| Transport / Traffic Supervisor | £16.00–£20.00 / hr |
Driving work suits people who want the rate their licence is worth, some control over the shifts they take, and to be paid properly through PAYE rather than pushed into a scheme.

It depends on what sits nearby. Areas with big distribution sheds generate trunking and Class 1 work, while towns with retail and wholesale depots generate more multi-drop on 7.5t and Class 2. Around Nuneaton we recruit across all four categories and will tell you what is actually live.
Usually yes. Most of what we place around Nuneaton is day work or night trunking that returns to the same depot, so you are home between shifts. Tramping roles that involve nights out exist too, but we only put you forward for them if you have said you want them.
Category B (a standard car licence) covers vans up to 3.5t. C1 covers 3.5—7.5t. C covers rigids over 3.5t, which the industry calls Class 2. C+E covers articulated and drawbar, which the industry calls Class 1. Anything above 3.5t driven commercially also needs a Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.
Van and multi-drop work is typically £12.71—£14.00 an hour, 7.5t £13.00—£15.00, Class 2 £16.00—£20.00 and Class 1 £18.00—£24.00. Nights, weekends and bank holidays usually pay more, and ADR or HIAB work carries its own premium.
Yes, for any commercial driving above 3.5 tonnes. You need 35 hours of periodic training every five years to keep it valid. Since the rules split, National Driver CPC covers UK-only driving while International Driver CPC is needed if you drive commercially into Europe.
