Our Story
HGV1 Radio was created for the people who keep the UK moving. Built specifically for truck drivers and the haulage industry, the station launched in March 2024 to bring music, travel updates, transport news and real stories from the road into one dedicated home for the industry. Broadcasting 24/7, HGV1 is supported by Truckfest and is an official media partner of Road Transport Expo, giving it a visible role both on air and at major UK industry events.
More than a radio station, HGV1 is a community-led platform shaped around the realities of life on the road. It was created for drivers, with a focus on giving the people behind the wheel content that feels relevant, familiar and genuinely useful – from music and travel updates to driver conversations and industry voices. That community focus matters in an industry where long hours, isolation and time away from home can take a real toll on wellbeing. HGV1 aims to help drivers feel more connected, represented and supported while they are out on the road.
Built for drivers
Everything about HGV1 is designed with drivers in mind. The station exists to serve truck drivers and the wider haulage industry with content that reflects daily life on the road, giving drivers a station that feels familiar, relevant and genuinely theirs.
More than music
HGV1 offers more than just music, with regular travel updates, a weekly ‘Transport News Hour’, guest interviews from across the transport industry, including manufacturers and other key transport figures, as well as driver shoutouts, voice clips from our dedicated WhatsApp, and features like ‘Trucker Takeover’. Everything is built around keeping drivers informed, entertained and involved.
A voice for the industry
HGV1 shines a light on drivers, operators, events and businesses across the sector, helping connect the wider road transport world. Its coverage extends beyond broadcasting, with a presence at Truckfest and Road Transport Expo, where it brings interviews and conversation from the heart of the industry.
Community at the centre
From shout-outs and voice notes to driver stories, interviews and interactive features like Trucker Takeover, HGV1 gives drivers a real chance to be part of the station. That sense of participation is a big part of what makes it more than just something to listen to – it is a platform where drivers’ voices can be heard and where the haulage community can feel better connected.
