A UNIT driver was a UNIT soldier serving under Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. He was part of the convoy sent to investigate Axos after it landed in England.
He was driving his lorry to the Nuton Power Complex when he was hypnotised by the Master. When they got to the complex, the Master ordered him to load the Third Doctor's TARDIS onto the lorry with the help of the UNIT guard. (TV: The Claws of Axos)

Nick Hobbs also played UNIT soldiers in The Mind of Evil, Day of the Daleks and The Time Monster. It is unclear whether these soldiers are meant to be the same character.
