Union Wages and Hours of Motortruck Drivers and Helpers, July 1,1950
Summary
Average hourly scales presented in this report
are designed to show current levels, and are based
on all rates reported for the current year; individ
ual rates are weighted by the number of union
members working at the rate. These averages are
not measures for yearly comparisons because of
annual changes in union membership and in classi
fications studied.
Union wage scales of motortruck drivers and
helpers advanced 3,5 percent or 5 cents an hour
between July 1,1949, and July 1,1950. The aver
age hourly scale on July 1, 1950, was $1.56 for
drivers and helpers combined, $1.60 for drivers
and $1.34 for helpers.
Scale increases effective during the year ending
July 1, 1950, were less widespread than in the
preceding 12-month period. Slightly over half of
the drivers and helpers had scale advances be
tween July 1, 1949, and July 1, 1950, whereas
four-fifths received upward adjustments in the
previous year.
The standard workweek declined slightly during
the year, and averaged 42.0 hours on July 1, 1950.
The typical straight-time workweek consisted of
40 hours and prevailed for seven-tenths of the local
motortruck drivers and helpers included in the
survey.

Scope and Method of Study
Information contained in this report is based on
union scales in effect on July 1, 1950. It covers
over 250,000 drivers and 40,000 helpers employed
in local trucking in 77 cities ranging in population
from 40,000 to over 1,000,000. Over-the-road
drivers and local city drivers paid on a mileage or
commission basis were excluded. Data were ob
tained primarily by mail questionnaire and from
regional representatives of the International Broth
erhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehouse
men and Helpers of America (AFL); in some
cities, data were obtained from local union officials
by Bureau representatives.
Union scales are defined as the minimum wage
rates and maximum schedules of hours (before
payment of premium overtime) agreed upon
through collective bargaining by employers and
trade-unions. Rates in excess of the negotiated
minimum which may be paid for special qualifica
tions or other reasons are not included.

Trend of Union Wage Scales
The 3.5-percent increase in union scales for
motortruck drivers and helpers between July 1,
1949 and July 1, 1950 advanced the index of
union hourly rates to 195.9 (June 1, 1939=100)—
the smallest annual increase since the close of
World War II, and compares with an 8-percent
(1 )
2
rise in the previous year. (See table 1.) In
creases of 11, 15, and 9 percent, respectively,
were achieved during the 3 years following VJday. These upward movements in levels of union
scales during the last 5 years account for nearly
three-fifths of the total advance since 1939.

Drivers
Helpers
nearly two-thirds of the helpers had upward
adjustments in their wage scale since July 1,
1949, whereas four-fifths of the drivers and
helpers received higher scales as the result of
negotiations effective in the previous 12 months.
Of those receiving scale advances, about 4 of
every 5 had adjustments ranging from 5 to 15
cents. Although scale increases varying from
less than 5 to more than 40 cents an hour were
provided in individual contracts, the typical
advance was for 5 or 10 cents an hour.

Between July 1, 1949, and July 1, 1950, union
scales for all motortruck drivers in the cities
studied increased 5 cents and for helpers, 6 cents
an hour. The gains amounted to 3.3 percent for

Some drivers in each of the 77 cities studied
received a wage increase between July 1, 1949,
and July 1, 1950. The extent of these increases
on a city basis ranged from an average of less
than 1 percent in Butte, Manchester, and Spokane
to 15 percent in Wichita. In 47 cities, the
advance averaged between 5 and 10 cents an hour;
in 24 cities, it amounted to less than 5 cents.
Average increases in union scales for drivers in
5 cities— Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, St. Louis,
Wichita, and Youngstown exceeded 10 cents an
hour.
Of the 71 cities in which union helpers were
covered, 6 reported that the scales in effect on
July 1, 1949, still prevailed. In the majority of
the cities, the increases averaged between 4 and
9 cents, although in Cleveland, Grand Rapids,
and Youngstown the increases were in excess of
10 cents an hour.

A comparison of the union scales in effect on
July 1, 1950, for motortruck drivers and helpers
with those existing on July 1, 1945, illustrates the
extent of postwar adjustments. On July 1, 1945,
nearly half of the drivers and over three-fourths
of the helpers had hourly union scales of less than
$1, and less than 1 percent of the drivers and help
ers received as much as $1.50 and $1.25, respec
tively. In 1950, however, only 1 percent of the
drivers and 5 percent of the helpers were employed
at hourly union scales under $1, while nearly 75
percent of the drivers had hourly scales of at least
$1.50 and a similar proportion of the helpers were
covered by contracts stipulating hourly scales of
$1.25 or more.
City and Regional Rate Differentials
In addition to city and regional rate differen
tials that exist for motortruck drivers and helpers,
wide variations in wage scales are also evident
among the various classifications of commodities
hauled as well as the sizes and types of trucks
operated within individual cities. Sound inter
city comparisons or Nation-wide combinations of
rates based on commodities handled, industry
and/or size and type of truck are not possible be
cause of the variation in the classifications and
terminology used among the cities.
Table 6 illustrates the wide variation as well as
the relationship that exists between the rates of
union drivers and helpers in 6 important cities in
various sections of the Nation.
On July 1, 1950, average union scales for drivers
varied from 99 cents in Charlotte, N. C., to $1.84
an hour in Oakland, Calif. The average wage
scale exceeded $1.50 in 22 cities and ranged from
$1.25 to $1.50 in 36 cities; levels of less than $1.10
an hour existed in 5 cities.

lowest in the Southeast region. (See table 8.)
In each classification, the differential was 58 cents.
The Middle Atlantic and Great Lakes regions were
the only other regions in which wage levels for
both drivers and helpers equaled or exceeded the
national averages. Only in the Southeast and
Southwest were the averages for drivers below
$1.25 an hour and only in the Southeast was the
wage level for helpers less than $1 an hour.
Standard Workweek
1Less than 0.05 of 1 percent.
Union scales for helpers averaged highest in
Oakland ($1.71) and lowest in Jacksonville ($0.73).
In nine other Southern cities, average scales for
helpers were below $1 an hour. Scale levels in
four additional West Coast cities— Portland, San
Francisco, Seattle, and Spokane also exceeded
$1.50 an hour.
When the cities are grouped according to popu
lation, average rates for motortruck drivers were
highest in the population group of 1 million and
over and were progressively lower in each of the
other smaller sized population groups studied
(table 7). However, New York and Chicago
ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, and Philadel
phia twentieth in city levels whereas Phoenix, Ariz.
(in the smallest size city group), ranked twelfth.
Average wage scales for helpers followed a pat
tern similar to that of the drivers, although here
again the highest city levels were not confined to
the largest size population group.
Wage scales for motortruck drivers and for
helpers averaged highest on the Pacific Coast and
City
Helpers
The standard workweek for motortruck drivers
and their helpers showed a slight decrease and
averaged 42.0 hours on July 1, 1950.
Since 1939 the average work schedule has shown
a reduction of about 8 percent and indicates a
definite trend toward the 40-hour and away from
the 48-hour straight-time workweek. On July 1,
1945, 48 hours was the typical workweek for twofifths of all drivers and helpers while only threetenths had a 40-hour week. However, on July
1, 1950, 7 of every 10 drivers and helpers had a
straight-time workweek of 40 hours. Contracts
which stipulated workweeks of 48 hours or more
applied to one of every five workers in the study.
Union Scales of Wages by City and Classification
Table 10 presents union scales of wages and
hours in effect on July 1, 1950, and July 1, 1949,
for each classification of truck drivers and helpers
in each of the 77 cities included in the study.
Where more than one union rate was in effect for
the same classification in a particular city all
rates are listed with the letters A, B, C, etc.,
designating the various effective agreements.
The sequence of the letters does not indicate the
relative importance of the agreements or the rates.
