Whatever is on your licence, there is usually work for it around Bedworth. WSUK places Class 1, Class 2, 7.5t and van drivers at depots near Bedworth — days, nights and trunking — on weekly PAYE pay with no fee to you.
Driving jobs around Bedworth run across four licence categories: van (B), 7.5 tonne (C1), Class 2 rigid (C) and Class 1 articulated (C+E). Rates near Bedworth 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.
Bedworth's logistics footprint clusters around Bayton Road Industrial Estate, Bermuda Park and the Prologis Park distribution sheds straddling the Bedworth–Nuneaton boundary, all feeding the M6 at Junction 3 and the A444 toward Coventry. The town sits inside the West Midlands' slice of the Golden Triangle, within an hour's drive of the major RDCs at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall, so manufacturers, third-party logistics operators and parcel carriers here handle both local multi-drop rounds and trunking legs to national hubs. Nearby Nuneaton adds further warehousing and the Holland & Barrett distribution operation, while Coventry and Hinckley draw in automotive and general haulage traffic. This concentration of estates, RDC feeder routes and last-mile depots means driver demand rarely stays flat for long.
Peaks around retail seasons, contract wins and holiday absence leave Bedworth transport managers short of drivers exactly when order books are fullest. WSUK fills those temporary driving jobs with Class 1 (C+E) and Class 2 (C) HGV drivers for trunking and store deliveries, 7.5-tonne (C1) drivers for lighter distribution, and van and multi-drop drivers for parcel and last-mile work. Every driver is vetted with DVLA licence checks, CPC verification and right-to-work confirmation before their first shift, and we run PAYE payroll plus tacho and working-time monitoring so compliance stays with us. Whether you need one driver for a day or a squad for a seasonal surge, we scale the supply up and down to match your volumes.
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.
WSUK covers Bedworth and the surrounding CV12 area, including Bayton Road, Bermuda Park and the Prologis Park sheds, plus nearby Nuneaton, Coventry and Hinckley. We supply temporary HGV and van drivers to warehouses, hauliers and parcel depots across the M6 J3 corridor, matching driver classes and shift patterns to each operator's routes and delivery windows.
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 Bedworth we recruit across all four categories and will tell you what is actually live.
Usually yes. Most of what we place around Bedworth 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.
