Preface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual surveys of wage rates and scheduled
hours o f work for specified crafts or jobs as provided in labor-management agreements in
the construction, printing, local transit, and local trucking industries. A biennial survey of
grocery stores also is included in this program. Wage rates and hours presented are those
in effect July 1, as reported to the Bureau by the appropriate local labor organizations in
each city included in the survey.
Preliminary listings o f union wage rates and hours for local truckdrivers and helpers in
each city were issued earlier. Copies of these are available from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212, or any of its regional offices listed on the inside back
cover of this bulletin.
This study was conducted in the Bureau's Office of Wages and Industrial Relations.
Philip M. Doyle of the Division of Occupational Wage Structures prepared this bulletin,
which provides a comprehensive account of the current study. In addition, it includes
trend indexes of wage rates and hours for 1936-73. Field work fo r the survey was
directed by the Associate Assistant Regional Directors for Operations.
The U.S. Census Bureau has introduced new job titles in its Occupational Classification
System to eliminate those that denote sex stereotypes. For purposes of this bulletin,
however, such titles have been retained where they refer specifically to contractual
definitions. Where titles are used in the generic sense, and not to describe a contract term,
they have been changed to eliminate the sex sterotype.

Survey findings

Union wage rates for local truckdrivers and helpers in
cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more averaged $5.85 an
hour on July 1, 1 97 3 — up 7.9 percent from a year
earlier. The increase, which was below the 9.9-percent
gain a year before was the smallest 1-year rise since
1968-69. It raised the Bureau's wage rate index for union
local truckdrivers and helpers to 163.4 (1967=100).
(See table 1.)
Truckdrivers, 90 percent of the workers studied,
averaged $5.90 an hour on July 1, 1973, an increase
of 7.9 percent since the previous year. (See table 2.)
Rates for drivers' helpers increased at a slightly faster
pace, rising 8.4 percent, to an average $5.30 an hour.
Wage rate increases affected almost 90 percent of
the workers studied during the year ended July 1, 1973,
compared with about 95 percent a year before. Also,
the size of the increases reported during 1972-73 tended
to be considerably smaller. For example, slightly less
lhan 30 percent of the workers received gains of 10 per­
cent or more between July 1972 and July 1973, whereas
nearly 55 percent received similar increases a year earlier.
Rates for about 1 percent of the drivers studied decreased
over the year, largely as a result of rollbacks ordered
by the Cost of Living Council's Wage Stabilization
Committee.
Over the past 10 years, union wage rates for local
truckdrivers and helpers have advanced at an average of
6.8 percent a year. The rate in recent years, however, has
been much more rapid, as increases between 1968 and
1973 averaged 9.2 percent a year compared with an
annual average of 4.4 percent for the 1963-68 period.
(See text table 1 for comparisons.)
Truckdrivers' helpers, most commonly found engaged
in moving and storage services and delivery of general
freight, groceries, furniture, and beer, averaged $5.30 an
hour on July 1, 1973, compared with $5.90 an hour for
truckdrivers. Much of this 60-cent-per-hour differential,
however, reflects the distribution of drivers and helpers
among individual cities and trucking operations with
widely varying wage scales, rather than disparaties in
contract rates paid for the two classifications w ithin the
same city and type of operation. (See table 10.) For

example, when union rates for workers engaged in haul­
ing general freight were examined on a city-by-city
basis, the wage advantage of drivers over their helpers
was 10 cents an hour or less in a majority o f the cities
where comparisons were possible. A t the extremes, the
largest differential reported for general freight haulers
was 50 cents in Grand Rapids while in three cities,
Kansas City, St. Paul, and Spokane, rates for general
freight truckdrivers and those for helpers were identical.
Similar pay relationships in other selected types of
trucking operations are illustrated in te xt table 2.
Regionally, average wage rates for truckdrivers ranged
from $5.44 in the Mountain States to $6.08 in New
England and the Great Lakes. (See table 7.) The inter­
regional spread for drivers' helpers rates, on the other
hand, was substantially greater, ranging from $3.19 in
the Southeast to $5.89 in New England.
In contrast to the pattern found in most of the
Bureau's occupational wage surveys, average rates in
cities of the largest size class studied were about equal to
those in smaller cities. (See text table 3.) Comparisons
of larger- and smaller-sized cities in the trucking industry
also show some unusual patterns. Union wage rates in

Based on th e 1 9 7 0 Census o f P o p u la tio n .

New York, the largest city surveyed, averaged $5.64 an
hour— only 9 percent more than the $5.16 recorded in
Scranton, Pa., the smallest city studied. Furthermore,
the average rate for drivers' helpers was 18 percent
higher in Scranton than in New York. Such relationships
are heavily influenced by differences in types of delivery
covered by union contracts in a city. In New York, for
example, truckdrivers' helpers were widely distributed
among 27 different types of delivery, compared with
only six types (beer, department stores, heavy, highway
and railroad construction, furniture, general freight, and
soft drinks) in Scranton. In the latter, as in a number of
other small cities studied, a m ajority of helpers were
engaged in relatively high wage hauling, particularly
general freight delivery.




About 97 percent of the drivers and helpers studied
were under union contracts providing premium rates
after 40 hours of work a week. (See table 6.) Schedules
of less than 40 hours, usually 371/2 hours, most frequently
applied to workers engaged in newspaper and beer
delivery. Longer schedules, typically 45 or 48 hours
a week, were reported most often for grocery and bakery
delivery employees.
Contract provisions for health, welfare, and pension
plans financed wholly or in part by the employer applied
to nearly all of the workers covered by the study. When
available, information on the amount of employer con­
tributions to these plans is presented in table 10.
About four-fifths of the workers surveyed, were also
#
under plans providing vacation benefits.

Scope and method of study

Union wage rates and hours reported in this bulletin
were agreed on through collective bargaining between
trade unions and employers, and are defined as (1) the
basic, or minimum wage rates (excluding holiday, vaca­
tion, and other benefit payments made regularly or
credited to the worker each pay period) and (2) the
maximum schedules of hours at straight-time rates.
Wage rates in excess of the negotiated minimum, which
may be paid fo r special qualifications or other reasons,
are excluded.

The information presented is based on union wage
rates in effect on July 1, 1973, for approximately
300,000 local truckdrivers and 33,000 helpers in 70
cities. The study excludes local city drivers paid on a
mileage or commission basis as well as over-the-road
drivers operating either between cities or between various
parts of the United States. Data are obtained primarily
from local union officials by mail questionnaire. In some
instances, however, Bureau economists visit local union
officials to obtain the desired information.
The current survey is designed to reflect the union
wage rates of local truckdrivers and helpers in all cities
of 100,000 inhabitants or more, excluding Honolulu,
as determined by the 1970 Census of Population. In­
cluded are all cities o f 500,000 inhabitants or more and
most cities of 250,000 to 500,000 inhabitants. Data




for cities studied are weighted to compensate for cities
not surveyed. In order to provide appropriate regional
representation, each region was considered separately
when city weights were assigned.
Average wage rates, designed to show current levels,
were based on wage rates in effect in each city on July 1,
1973, weighted by the number of union members at
each rate in the area. These averages are not designed
for precise year-to-year comparisons because of fluctua­
tions in membership and in the classifications studied.
Average cents-per-hour and percent changes from July 1,
1972, to July 1, 1973, however, are based on comparable
quotations for the various job classifications in both
periods, weighted by the memberships reported for
the current 1973 survey. The index series designed
for trend purposes, is constructed similarly.
