Whatever is on your licence, there is usually work for it around Brackley. WSUK places Class 1, Class 2, 7.5t and van drivers at depots near Brackley — days, nights and trunking — on weekly PAYE pay with no fee to you.
Driving jobs around Brackley run across four licence categories: van (B), 7.5 tonne (C1), Class 2 rigid (C) and Class 1 articulated (C+E). Rates near Brackley 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.
Brackley lies on the A43 corridor linking the M40 (J10) to the M1 and Northampton, at the western edge of Northamptonshire's dense logistics belt. Local industry centres on the Buckingham Road Industrial Estate and the high-tech motorsport and engineering cluster at nearby Silverstone Park, home to Formula 1 and specialist manufacturing operations that generate precise, time-critical inbound and outbound freight. The town sits within easy reach of the Golden Triangle hubs at DIRFT, Daventry and Northampton, so general hauliers, contract logistics firms and parcel carriers move steadily through the area. Nearby Towcester and Buckingham add further distribution and trade-counter activity, while the A43 and A422 feed both local rounds and longer trunking legs. This blend of engineering, manufacturing and mainstream distribution keeps driver demand varied across the year.
Brackley's employers face the same pressures as the wider region — motorsport build seasons, manufacturing schedules, holiday absence and retail peaks all create sudden gaps in driver cover. WSUK fills temporary driving jobs with Class 1 (C+E) drivers for trunking and multi-site runs, Class 2 (C) drivers for rigid deliveries, 7.5-tonne (C1) drivers for lighter loads, and van and multi-drop drivers for local and last-mile work. Every driver clears DVLA licence checks, CPC verification and right-to-work before their first shift, and we manage PAYE payroll with tacho and working-time compliance. Whether you need a single driver for a busy week or a team for a seasonal surge, we scale supply up and down to match.
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 Brackley and the NN13 area, including the Buckingham Road Industrial Estate and Silverstone Park, plus nearby Towcester, Buckingham, Silverstone and Northampton. We supply temporary HGV and van drivers to motorsport engineers, manufacturers, hauliers and distributors along the A43 and M40 corridor, matching driver classes and shift patterns to each operator's routes and delivery requirements.
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.
We are a logistics operator as well as an agency, so we know what the run actually is before we put you in the cab.

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 Brackley we recruit across all four categories and will tell you what is actually live.
Usually yes. Most of what we place around Brackley 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.
