Longer semi trailer, LST: what it is and what it pays

What it actually is

The 15.65 metre trailer, about two metres longer than standard, permanent on UK roads since 2023 after a long trial. More pallets, same tractor unit, tighter cut in on every corner.

What you need to hold

Class 1 and operator familiarisation. Not a separate licence category.

What it does to the money

Standard artic money. Worth naming in an advert because a driver who has never pulled one wants to know before the first roundabout.

How the work runs

The question that decides whether you stay in the job, and the one most adverts never answer.

Tramping, nights out Home every night Trunking Multi drop Store and retail delivery Shunting and yard work Night work Four on four off and fixed rotas Agency and ad hoc shifts
