Whatever is on your licence, there is usually work for it around Warwick. WSUK places Class 1, Class 2, 7.5t and van drivers at depots near Warwick — days, nights and trunking — on weekly PAYE pay with no fee to you.
Driving jobs around Warwick run across four licence categories: van (B), 7.5 tonne (C1), Class 2 rigid (C) and Class 1 articulated (C+E). Rates near Warwick 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.
Warwick sits on the M40 at Junction 15, at the centre of a high-value automotive and engineering cluster. Warwick Technology Park, Tournament Fields and the Heathcote Industrial Estate host R&D, manufacturing and commercial operations, while the nearby Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin engineering bases at Gaydon and the growing games sector in Leamington's Silicon Spa add further movement. The A46 links north to Coventry and the M6 and south to Stratford, and the A429 and A425 thread local traffic through Kenilworth and Leamington Spa. This blend of precision-engineering supply chains, business-park distribution and general regional haulage keeps HGV, 7.5-tonne and van drivers busy across the CV34 and CV35 postcodes, moving components, equipment and multi-drop loads throughout the week.
Precision-engineering supply chains and business-park distribution both depend on reliable transport, so an unfilled cab can hold up component deliveries or scheduled collections. WSUK fills temporary driving jobs across every class - C+E Class 1, C Class 2, 7.5-tonne C1 and van/multi-drop - with drivers ready to start at short notice. Each is vetted through 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 the regulatory burden stays with us. As project deadlines, seasonal peaks or absence shift your requirements, we scale driver numbers up or down to match, from single-shift cover to a sustained team.
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 Warwick Technology Park to Tournament Fields and Heathcote, CV34 and CV35 employers call WSUK when an engineering delivery or scheduled collection needs a driver and the rota is tight. We understand the M40 J15 and A46 routes and the automotive-engineering demand that shapes the area - so our temporary drivers arrive ready to perform from day one.
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 Warwick we recruit across all four categories and will tell you what is actually live.
Usually yes. Most of what we place around Warwick 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.
