The benefits of working in haulage and why you should consider a career in the sector

Logistics and haulage are the lifeblood of the country – ensuring goods and materials get to where they need to be and keep Britain running. It’s a fantastic sector to work in, an ever-growing and high-in-demand industry, with a variety of interesting roles, each playing an important part in keeping the UK economy going. Here, we look at just one cog in the UK’s logistics machine, haulage drivers, and the benefits of choosing the career the sector.

In demand

Haulage is a sector that just keeps growing and growing – goods and materials are required daily to feed the nation, whether that’s with food for the table or materials for the building industry.

It’s an industry that is crucial to the running of the country, and in terms of job security, is among the most secure and in-demand jobs out there.

As haulage drivers are always sought after, the potential to grow your salary is high compared to most jobs, and there will always be a need for your skills.

Essentially, haulage keeps the world ticking along – and your abilities will never not be in demand.

Not your regular nine to five

Many people are not prepared to sit in an office all day, the often drudgery of a regular nine to five stuck in front of a screen.

Haulage is not one of those jobs. It often gives you the freedom to choose the hours you work – so your work revolves around your life, not the other way round.

Being a haulage driver gives you the opportunity, unlike most jobs, to work when you want to, giving you the freedom to live the life you want to lead.

It’s also a chance to see the country and beyond, to visit places you’ve never thought to see, to meet new people and to experience the freedom of the open road.

You can start quickly

Although being a haulage driver requires training and qualifications, these can be done in under ten weeks.

Compared to most occupations, where it can take weeks of training to get up to speed anyway, once you are qualified, the world is yours.

Achieving your HGV driving licence opens up a huge variety of employment opportunities, the chance to choose who you wish to work for, when you work for them or to go freelance in the future.
