Preface
The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual surveys of wage rates and straight-time hours of
work in selected cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more for specified crafts or jobs as provided in
labor-management agreements in the construction, printing, local transit, and local trucking indus­
tries. A biennial survey of grocery stores also is included in this program. Wage rates and hours
presented are those in effect the first workday in July, 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 o f 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. Carl Barsky
o f the Division o f Occupational Wage Structures prepared this bulletin, which provides a compre­
hensive account o f the current study. In addition, it includes trend indexes o f wage rates and hours
for 1936-75. Fieldwork for the survey was directed by the Assistant Regional Commissioners for
Operations.

Local Truckdrivers and Helpers, July 1,1975
Summary

of the survey’s drivers.)
Drivers’ helpers, who ride on the truck and assist in
loading and unloading, were most commonly engaged in
moving and storage services and in the delivery of gener­
al freight, groceries, and beer (or other alcoholic bever­
ages). In recent years, many local contracts either have
eliminated the distinction between drivers and helpers or
have set the same rates for the two classifications. (See
the section on driver/helper wage comparisons under
“Type of delivery” for examples.)

Union wage rates for local truckdrivers and helpers in
cities o f 100,000 inhabitants or more averaged $6.81 on
July 1, 1975—an increase o f 7.5 percent from a year
earlier.1 The increase, which was the smallest since
1968-69, raised the Bureau’s wage rate index for local
truckdrivers and helpers to 190.0 (1967=100) (table 1).
Wage rates for truckdrivers, nine-tenths of the
workers covered by the survey, averaged $6.87, com­
pared with $6.27 for helpers (table 2). Among the fac­
tors influencing wage rate variation were region, city
size, and type o f delivery.

Survey findings
W age tre n d s. Between 1974 and 1975, wage rates ad­
vanced 7.5 percent for all workers 5 (table 2). The in­
crease was 7.5 percent for drivers and 7.0 percent for
helpers.
Text table 1 presents wage changes over the past 10
years. Increases were relatively modest in the first four
years o f this period—3.5 to 6 percent; they peaked
during 1969-72 at 10-12% percent, and then receded to
around 7%-8 percent in the last 3 years. The 1974-75
advance was the smallest since 1968-69.

Industry characteristics

The 1975 local trucking survey covered about 366,000
drivers and 35,000 helpers who were active union
members2 in the 152 cities with populations of at least
100,000, excluding Honolulu, as recorded in the 1970
census. Excluded were drivers and helpers in smaller
cities, those paid on a mileage or commission basis,
and over-the-road drivers operating either between cities
or between various parts o f the United States.3
Slightly under half of the drivers surveyed were
covered by the nationwide general freight agreement
with the International Brotherhood, o f Teamsters, Chauf­
feurs, and Warehousemen, Ind.4 Most bargaining in the
trucking industry, however, is conducted at a local or
regional level. Individual trucking locals (in most cases
affiliated with the Teamsters) usually negotiate with one
company, or a group o f firms, for separate wage rates
and benefits by type o f hauling, such as building and
heavy/highway construction, building materials and sup­
plies, parcel service, and grocery operations. (The two
construction groups mentioned accounted for one-fifth

About 97 percent of the drivers and helpers received
wage rate increases between July 1, 1974, and July 1,
1975 (table 4). More than half o f the workers received
increases of between 40 and 50 cents. In relative terms,
increases most commonly fell between 6 and 7 percent
(table 5).
Regionally, increases ranged from 8.7 percent in the
Pacific and Mountain States to 6.5 percent in New Eng­
land, the Southeast, and the Middle West (table 7). With
few exceptions, average increases for all workers fell be­
tween 6 and 8 percent in each of the cities studied (table
11). Cents-per-hour changes by city are shown in table 9.

Union wages rates for truckdrivers
and helpers combined averaged $6.81 on July 1, 1975.
For truckdrivers, the average was $6.87, compared with
$6.27 for helpers.
Wage rates for most drivers were within a relatively
narrow range (table 3). Just under one-fifth had hourly
rates o f $6.40 to $7. Nearly half had rates between $7
and $7.40 (primarily general freight drivers under the
master agreement). Helpers’ rates were more widely dis­
tributed—about one-tenth had rates between $4 and $5;
one-fourth between $5 and $6; two-fifths between $6
and $7; and one-fifth had rates o f $7 or more.

size located in the same region. Baltimore and Washing­
ton, for example, are both located in the Border States
region and have a similar population size. Drivers in the
former city, however, averaged 15 percent more than
those in the latter. Much o f this difference results from
the varying importance of general freight drivers (at the
same rate of $7.11) in the two cities—56 percent in Bal­
timore compared with 21 percent in Washington. Text
table 3 shows the relationship of rates for general freight
drivers to other selected classifications for cities permit­
ting such comparisons.
Driver-helper pay relationships also were influenced
by type o f delivery. Although drivers averaged 10 per­
cent more than helpers, much of the differential reflects
the distribution o f drivers and helpers among cities and
trucking operations with disparate pay levels, rather than
differences in the contract rates paid the two classifica­
tions within the same city and type of operation (table
12). As shown in text table 4, general freight drivers
enjoyed less than a 4-percent advantage over their
helpers in 27 o f 37 cities permitting comparison; no city
reported as much as an 8-percent differential for this
classification. These relationships generally held for mov­
ing or moving and storage, furniture, beer and other al­
coholic beverages, and grocery drivers; only a few in­
stances o f driver/helper wage differentials equal to or
higher than the 10-percent national spread were reported
for these classifications.

T y p e o f d e liv e r y . For the first time in the trucking sur­
vey, separate averages were developed by type of deliv­
ery—for nine driver classifications common to all parts
of the country. These nine classifications accounted for
four-fifths o f the drivers covered by the survey. As
shown in text table 2, the highest nationwide wage level
among these categories was for building and heavy /high­
way construction ($7.58). General freight drivers, who
accounted for nearly half of all drivers in the survey,
averaged $7.15.6 Drivers hauling alcoholic beverages and
bakery goods were the lowest paid o f the nine classifica­
tions studied—under $6 an hour.
Individual city averages are heavily influenced by the
proportion o f drivers in higher and lower rated classifica­
tions. Such variations can even result in disparate wage
levels for drivers in cities o f the same general population

drivers’ helpers was substantially greater; their rates
ranged from $3.77 in the Southeast to $6.99 in the Paci­
fic States (table 7).
Unlike its effect on differences in city averages, the
varying proportion of general freight drivers was not the
important factor in regional wage variations. Averages



for other than general freight drivers ranged from $5.37
in the Southeast to $7.09 in the Pacific States, a regional
ordering similar to that for all drivers. As shown in text
table 5, wage rates varied widely by region for several of
the selected types of delivery; they were generally high­
est in the Pacific and lowest in the South.

Population size. Wage levels for drivers and helpers

E m ployer contributions to funds. Nearly all local truck-

varied little when combined within four city size groups.
Average wage rates for drivers ranged from $6.94 in
cities of 500,000 to 1 million inhabitants to $6.79 in the
sm allest group studied—100,000 to 250,000. For
helpers, the range was $6.65 in cities of 250,000 to
500,000 to $5.90 in the largest six cities—those with at
least 1 million inhabitants (table 8). Within city size
groups, however, there were significant spreads in city
averages, reflecting regional influences o n ' wage levels
and the relative importance of the various types of deliv­
ery. The latter factor largely accounted for the fact that
some of the smallest cities had higher averages, especially
for helpers, than the biggest cities.7

drivers and helpers in the survey were provided benefits
through insurance or pension funds either fully or par­
tially paid for by the employer (table 12). These pay­
ments were usually the same for all drivers and helpers,
covered by one agreement regardless of classification.

Hours o f work. About 97 percent of the drivers and

helpers were covered by agreements providing for a
maximum of 40 hours per week at straight-time rates
(table 6). Among the rest, the most common schedule
was
hours—found chiefly among newspaper delivery
drivers. Schedules of more than 40 straight-time hours
usually applied to grocery and bakery drivers and
helpers.

Appendix.

Scope and Method of Study
The current survey is designed to reflect the union
wage rates o f local truckdrivers and helpers in all cities
of 100,000 inhabitants or more, excluding Honolulu, as
recorded in the 1970 Census of Population,. Included are
all cities or 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 repre­
sentation, each region was considered separately when
city weights were assigned.

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 cred­
ited to the worker each pay period) and (2) the maxi­
mum schedules o f hours at straight-time rates. Wage
rates in excess of the negotiated minimum, which may
be paid for special qualifications or other reasons, are
excluded.
The 1975 survey covered about 366,000 drivers and
35.000 helpers who were active union members in all
cities o f 100,000 inhabitants or more (except for Hono­
lulu). The information presented is based on data col­
lected for approximately 280,000 local truckdrivers and
30.000 helpers in the 70 cities studied. The study ex­
cludes local city drivers paid on a mileage or commission
basis as well as over-the-road drivers operation either be­
tween cities or between various parts of the United
States. Data were obtained primarily from local union
officials by mail questionnaire. In some instances, how­
ever, Bureau economists visited local union officials to.
obtain the desired information.




Average wage rates, designed to show current levels,
are based on wage rates in effect in each city on the first
work day in July 1975, weighted by the number of
union members at each rate in the area. These averages
are not designed for precise year-to-year comparisons be­
cause o f fluctuations in membership and in the classifica­
tio n s studied. Average cents-per-hour and percent
changes from July 1, 1974, to July 1, 1975, however,
are based on comparable quotations for the various job
classifications in both periods, weighted by the member­
ships reported for the current (1975) survey. The index
series designed for trend purposes is constructed simi­
larity.
