Union Wages and Hours of Motortruck Drivers and
Helpers, July 1, 1944
Sum m ary
On July 1, 1944, the average hourly wage rate for union motor
truck drivers was 98.3 cents per hour in 75 cities surveyed by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics; the average for helpers was 81.4 cents
and for the combined groups, 96.0 cents. Wage rates for drivers
advanced 1.7 percent, and for helpers 2.5 percent, during the period
July 1, 1943, to July 1, 1944, as indicated by comparable quotations
obtained for both years. San Antonio, Tex., with the lowest composite
average for all of the 75 cities surveyed, showed the greatest percentage
increase over 1943— 16.9 percent.
Union agreements provided normal workweeks averaging 46.0 hours
for drivers and 45.3 for helpers. Over two-fifths of both drivers and
helpers were covered by provisions calling for a 48-hour week. No
change in weekly hours was recorded during the year for most (97
percent) of the drivers and helpers.
More than three-fourths of the union members were covered by
agreements providing paid vacations, and about two-fifths received
pay for a limited number of holidays not worked.
Scope and M ethod o f Study
This study is one of a series of annual surveys made by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, covering union scales in various trades in 75
principal cities of the United States. The data were collected by
field representatives of the Bureau, who called upon the officials of
the local unions in each city to obtain the rates provided in their
agreements with employers and the number of persons working under
each wage scale. Scales in negotiation or before the National or
Regional War Labor Boards or their designated agencies at the time
the Bureau’s representatives called were further checked before the
data were tabulated, in order that changes retroactive to July 1,1944,
would be reflected in this report.
The figures are for city trucking primarily, although over-the-road
drivers were included when they were paid on an hourly rather than
a mileage basis. Included in the report are 3,237 wage quotations
covering 215,662 union members, of whom 86 percent were drivers
and 14 percent were helpers. The averages presented are weighted
according to the number of union members receiving each rate and
thus reflect not only the actual rates provided in union agreements
but also the number of members benefiting from those scales.

The term “ truck drivers” covers a heterogeneous group of workers,
such as drivers of building and excavating trucks, coal trucks, ice
trucks, general hauling ana transfer trucks, delivery trucks hauling
various and miscellaneous commodities, and express and freight trucks.
In each of the many classifications of hauling, different types and
sizes of trucks are commonly used. Each branch of the trucking
industry, as well as each size and type of truck, usually has a different
wage rate. Furthermore, there is great variation among the different
cities, not only in commodities handled and types of trucks but also
in the terminology used to describe the different kinds of trucking.
For these reasons it would be difficult to make an intercity classifi
cation by types. All truck driving in each city studied is treated
as one trade, division being made only between drivers and helpers.
Usually the union agreements specify hourly rates as the basis of
wage payment for drivers doing local hauling or making local deliveries
which do not involve sales functions, although daily or weekly wage
scales are not uncommon. For purposes of this study the daily and
weekly wage scales have been converted to an hourly basis whenever
the agreements specified the number of hours for which the scales
applied; otherwise they have been omitted. Some trucking agree
ments, although specifying wages on an hourly basis, do not state
the number of hours which constitute full time; these quotations
necessarily have been omitted in the computation of average full
time hours and in the table showing the distribution according to
hours per week.
Agreements covering route drivers, particularly those handling
bakery products, beer, laundry, and milk, commonly classify the
drivers as salesmen. Ordinarily, the compensation of these drivers
is specified as a weekly guaranty, plus various commissions based
upon the volume of deliveries or collections. Similarly, the agree
ments covering over-the-road drivers commonly specify either trip
or mileage rather than hourly wage scales. All quotations specifying
such commission, trip, or mileage wage scales which could not be
converted to an hourly basis have been excluded from the computa
tions in this report.
Trend o f U nion W age Rates and W eekly H ours
On the basis of comparable quotations for July 1, 1943, and Julv
1, 1944, hourly wage rates showed an advance of 1.8 percent for all
union motortruck drivers and helpers during the year (table 1). This
is the smallest increase recorded since 1936, the first year for which
comparable quotations for the trucking industry are available. This
small increase indicates the effectiveness of wartime Government
controls over wage rates. The very slight decrease in weekly hours
is due to the approval by the National War Labor Board of a few
cases in which the normal straight-time weekly hours were reduced.
This does not mean that the union members worked shorter time,
but merely that some hours previously worked at straight time are
now worked at overtime rates.
Drivers received wage-rate increases averaging 1.7 percent diming
the year, raising the index to 121.2, a total increase of slightly more
than 21 percent since 1939. Normal hours have decreased 1.7 percent
during the same period.

Increases for helpers during the 12-month period averaged 2.5 per
cent, bringing the index to 126.1, an increase of more than 26 percent
in base rates after 1939. Average weekly hours for helpers remained
unchanged during the year and have dropped only slightly since 1939,
the base year of the index.
Distribution o f M em bers by H ou rly W age Rates
Motortruck drivers’ wage rates averaged 98.3 cents per hour on
July 1, 1944, in the 75 cities surveyed; helpers averaged 81.4 cents
and, the combined groups, 96.0 cents (table 2). Almost half of the
drivers had hourly rates ranging from 85 cents to $1.05 per hour.
Only 17 percent earned less than 85 cents, while over a third had rates
exceeding $1.05. The lowest scale, 39.5 cents, was reported in Des
Moines for meat-truck drivers employed less than 6 months. Opera
tors of dump trucks with a capacity of 8 cubic yards or over in St.
Louis had the highest scale, $2.00 per hour.

drivers’ helpers in Atlanta received the lowest scale, 29.2 cents per
hour, and beer drivers’ helpers in New York had the highest rate,
$1.27.
W eekly H ours
Normal weekly hours established by union agreements in 75 cities
averaged 46.0 for all union truck drivers on July 1, 1944 (table 3);
helpers averaged 45.3 hours, and drivers and helpers combined, 45.9.
Slightly more than two-fifths of the drivers and over 45 percent of the
helpers had a basic workweek of 48 hours. More than a fourth of
both the drivers and helpers reported a basic workweek of 40 hours,
while 11 percent of the drivers and 12 percent of the helpers worked
on a 44-hour basis. Hours in excess of 48 per week were worked by
16 percent of the drivers and 10 percent of the helpers. The shortest
workweek, 30.8 hours, was reported for night city newspaper drivers in
Duluth, while bread drivers in St. Louis had the longest, 65.0 hours.
The Fair Labor Standards Act, which limits straight-time working
hours to 40 per week in interstate commerce, is not a governing factor
in the trucking industry, as is indicated by the extent of weekly hour
scales that exceed 40 per week. The vast majority of these workers
are in strictly intrastate commerce to which the act does not apply,
or they are drivers of common, contract, or private motor carriers
engaged in transportation in interstate commerce which are exempt
from the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The
latter are subject to the regulations of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission which has jurisdiction over all trucking occupations in inter
state commerce affecting the safety of operations.1 The Interstate
Commerce Commission has ruled that employers of drivers operating
vehicles in interstate commerce may not require drivers in their em
ploy to remain on duty for more than 60 hours in a period of 168
consecutive hours. There are various exceptions allowed regarding
daily and weekly hours.2

i The courts have generally ruled in cases where employees have brought suits for payment of overtime
due under the Wage and Hour Law that drivers, drivers’ helpers, mechanics, and even body builders work
ing for trucking firms which operate in interstate commerce are covered by regulations of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and not by provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
a An essential difference between the hour regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission and of
the Fair Labor Standards Act should be noted. Whereas the Interstate Commerce Commission regula
tions specify maximum hours which may not be exceeded, the regulations under the Fair Labor Standards
Act merely specify the maximum hours that may be worked at straight-time rates, and do not limit the
number of total hours that may be worked provided time and a half is paid for all hours in excess of the
specified normal week. See Interstate Commerce Commission: “Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
Revised.”

Changes in W age Rates and H ours From 1943 to 1944
Wage rates.— About 28 percent of the total union members for whom
comparable quotations were obtained for both 1943 and 1944 received
increases in wages diming the year (table 4). Over three-fourths of
those benefiting from increases obtained raises of less than 10 percent.
The only decrease in hourly wages reported was caused by an increase
in the normal straight-time weekly hours for fur drivers in New York
City, without sufficient addition to the weekly wages to compensate
for the change in hours.
A majority (54 percent) of the drivers whose scales were increased,
received advances of 5 but less than 10 percent. Increases of less than
5 percent were obtained by over 25 percent of these drivers, and 5 per
cent received raises of 15 percent or more.
The wage scales of almost four-fifths of the helpers who received
increases are at least 5 but less than 15 percent higher than in 1943.
Over a third of these are earning between 10 and 15 percent more than
in the previous year. Almost 4 percent of all union helpers (13 per
cent of those receiving increases) had raises of 15 percent or more.

* Less than a tenth of 1 percent.
Maximum weekly hours.— Ninety-seven percent of the quotations,
covering about the same proportion of the union members, indicated
no change in maximum full-time weekly hours diming the period July 1,
1943, to July 1, 1944. Less than 1 percent had their hours increased,
while less than 3 percent of the drivers and almost 5 percent of the
helpers reported slight decreases in hour scales.
Overtime
Time and a half was reported as the initial overtime rate for prac
tically all of the union members (90.4 percent of the drivers and 93
percent of the helpers). Over 6 percent of the drivers and 4 percent
of the helpers worked without extra pay for overtime work. In some
of these cases, overtime was prohibited by agreement or by Interstate
Commerce Commission regulations. Double time as an initial over
time rate was very seldom reported. It covered less than 0.4 percent
of the drivers and helpers combined. A few of the drivers (3 percent)
632948°— 45------ 2
6
and helpers (2.8 percent) were covered by other penalty scales such
as a fixed monetary rate, time and one-third, or time and one-fourth.
A small number of union agreements provided a daily or weekly
tolerance under which a limited amoimt of overtime could be worked
before the penalty rate became effective. This tolerance usually
ranged from 3 to 6 hours per week.
A substantial number of agreements guaranteed a few overtime
hours each week at the rate of time and a half. Such a guaranty in
effect substantially increases the “ take home” pay without changing
the basic rates. These guaranties are usually on a weekly basis and
are not effective if the member takes time off for his own convenience.
P a y fo r Sundays and H olidays
Work on Sunday or the seventh consecutive day called for rates of
either time and a half or double time for almost 90 percent of the
union members. About half of both drivers and helpers received time
and a half for work on this day, while two-fifths received double time.
Only 1 of every 10 drivers or helpers did not receive any special rate
for work on Sunday or the seventh consecutive day.
About two-fifths of the union motortruck drivers and helpers
worked under agreements calling for regular pay for holidays not
worked. More than 18 percent of the members received 6 holidays
with pay while an additional 18 percent received pay for seven or
more holidays not worked. About 3 percent are included under
agreements providing pay for one to five holidays.
Vacations
Vacations with pay are provided in the union agreements covering
over 78 percent of the union members included m this survey. A
similar check in 1942 indicated that only about 65 percent of the
union drivers and helpers benefited by paid vacations. About 44
percent of the union members (56 percent of those receiving vaca
tions) were required to work 1 year to earn 1 week’s vacation, while
about 12 percent received 2 weeks after 1 year of service. Agree
ments providing 1 week of vacation after 1 year and 2 weeks after 2
years covered 4 percent of the total union membership. Vacations
of 1 week after 1 year and 2 weeks after 5 years were specified for more
than 6 percent of the union members. About an eighth of the union
members were covered by other miscellaneous vacation provisions.
,
Average W age Rates and Changes b y C ity 3
New York City led all other cities included in the survey with a
composite average rate for union truck drivers of $1,181 per hour
(table 5). Seattle was second with an average of $1,163, followed by
Newark with $1,154. In addition to Seattle, averages exceeding
$1.00 were found in all the other West Coast cities covered: San
Francisco ($1,122), Spokane ($1,115), Portland, Oreg. ($1,057), and
Los Angeles ($1,051). Three other cities—Detroit ($1,060), Butte*
* The average rate shown for each city is a composite of all rates quoted for each different type of tru<fc
driver, weighted by the number of union members earning each rate.
7
($1,028), and Cleveland ($1.008)— also fell in this group. No other
city had rates as high as the average for all cities, 98.3 cents. Fortyone cities had averages exceeding 80 cents, and only 22 had averages
below this rate. San Antonio's average was lowest (64 cents per hour).
Percentage changes.4—The greatest increase in wage rates (16.9
percent) during the period of the survey, July 1, 1943, to July 1, 1914,
was recorded for San Antonio; but in spite of this large increase, San
Antonio, for the second successive year, had the lowest composite
average, of all the cities surveyed. El Paso, Tex., had the next
highest increase (10 percent). Only nine other cities had average
increases of 5 percent or more. Thirty additional cities had increases
in wage scales that exceeded the average increase for all cities (1.7
percent). In 21 cities increases of less than 1 percent were recorded,
and in 2 cities there was no change in scales.

1 Does not include drivers paid on a commission or mileage basis. Averages are weighted according to
number receiving each different rate. Helpers are not included in this table.
2 Data obtained for only about two-thirds of the union drivers in Baltimore
8 Less than a tenth of 1 percent.
* Includes Rock Island, HI., Davenport, Iowa, and Moline, 111.
4 The percentage changes are based on specific rate§ weighted by the number of members working at each
rate. Only those quotations showing comparable iata for both 1943 and 1944 are included. Spociitc in
creases during the 12-month period of this study will reflect larger percentage changes among those classi
fications with comparatively lower scales; e. g. if freight drivers in city A increase their scale 10 cents per
hour from 70 to 80 cents, an average increase of 14.3 percent is registered, while in city B if the same increase
raises the rate from $1.10 to $1.20 per hour the change is only 8.1 percent. For this reason those cities which
have lower scales tend to show greater percentage increases than those which have higher scales.

U nion Scales o f W ages and H ours b y C ity
The rates of wages per hour and hours per week on July 1, 1944,
and July 1, 1943, for each classification of union motortruck drivers
and helpers in selected cities are shown in this table.
In a number of cities there are two or more union rates for the same
type of truck driving. This may be due to the existence of two or
more unions having different scales, to a single union having different
agreements with different employers for various reasons, or to both
these situations. Where more than one union rate is in effect for
the same type of trucking, rates are listed in the following tables
with the designations “ Agreement A ,” “ B,” “ C,” etc. The designa
tions “ Rate A,” “ B,” “ C,” etc., are used whenever two or more other
wise unclassified rates appear in the same agreement. The sequence
of the alphabetical designations is in no way intended to indicate the
relative importance of the agreements or rates.
When a union agreement guarantees a minimum workweek which
includes a limited number of hours paid for at an overtime rate (e. g.
a guaranteed workweek of 48 hours, 40 of which are at straight time
and 8 at time and a half), the hours shown in this table are the total
guaranteed hours, and the rates shown reflect the overtime payment.6

« If the basic rate is $1.00 per hour for 40 hours and 8 additional hours are guaranteed at $1.60 per hour, the
rate appearing in this table will be $1,083 (computed by multiplying $1.00 by 40, and $1.50 by 8, adding the
products, and dividing by 48. The hours shown in the table would be 48.
