I headed to Birch Services to speak to real truck drivers and people working in the transport industry about what life on the road is actually like.
How much can truck drivers really earn? Is HGV driving still a good career in 2026? What are nights out like? And would experienced drivers recommend the industry to the next generation?
In this episode of Manc on a Mission, I walk around Birch Services speaking to drivers from different backgrounds about their careers, earnings, working hours and how they got into the industry. We also discover other careers within transport and logistics, including mobile commercial tyre fitting, showing just how many different opportunities exist around the trucking industry.
From drivers earning around £700–£1,000 a week to workers discussing specialist roles and earning potential, this is an honest look at careers that many young people may never have considered.
🚛 Are you a truck driver? Let us know in the comments how long you've been driving and whether you'd recommend the career.
