The National Living Wage for drivers aged 21 and over is £12.80 per hour as of 1 April 2026. All hours including loading and waiting time must be paid at this rate with no exceptions for piecework. Employers must also pay £1.26 per hour extra for night work between 11pm and 6am.
Which driving licence category and CPC qualification are required to drive 7.5 tonne lorries in the UK in 2026?
