Union Wages and Hours of Motortruck Drivers and Helpers,
July I, 1952
Union scales of workers engaged in local
city trucking rose 5*5 percent between July 1,
1951 9 and July 1, 1952, according to the sev­
enteenth annual study of union scales in local
trucking made by the Bureau of Labor Statis­
tics. The increase, amounting to 9 cents an
hour, advanced the average hourly scale of u n ­
ionized drivers and helpers to $1.7** on July 1,
1952. Union scales averaged $ 1 . 7 8 for drivers
and $ 1 . 5 2 for helpers.
Scale revisions provided in collectivebargaining agreements effective during the 1 2
months ending July 1, 1952, resulted in upward
adjustments of wage scales covering seventenths of the motortruck drivers and helpers
included in the study.
The standard workweek declined slightly
during the year and averaged *4-1 . 9
hours on
July 1, 1952. The prevalent straight-time week­
ly schedule consisted of **0 hours.
Scope and Method of Study

The negotiation of new labor-management
contracts effective between July 1, 1951, and
July 1, 1952, raised the wage scales of twothirds of the drivers and four-fifths of the
helpers. Of the drivers receiving scale ad ­
vances during the year, nearly half had in­
creases ranging from 5 to 10 percent; twoninths had adjustments of less than 5 percent,
and a somewhat similar proportion from 10 to 15
percent. The advance during the year amounted
to less than 5 percent for a fourth of the
helpers affected by scale revisions, from 5 to
10 percent for slightly more than a third, from
10 to 15 percent for a fifth, and from 1 5 to 20
percent for a sixth (table 2).
Although scale increases ranging from less
than 5 cents to over *4-0 cents an hour were pro­
vided in individual contracts, advances of 5 to
20 cents were most prevalent. Three-tenths of
the drivers and three-eights of the helpers for
whom revised scales were negotiated received
increases ranging from 5 to 10 cents an hour, a
fourth of the drivers and a similar proportion
of helpers from 10 to 1 5 cents, and a fourth of
the drivers and a sixth of the helpers from 15
to 20 cents (table 3)*

The information presented in this report
was based on union scales in effect on July 1,
1 9 5 2 , and covered approximately 270,000 drivers
and 4*4-,000 helpers in the local trucking in­
dustry in 77 cities ranging in population from
about *4-0,000 to over a million. Over-the-road
drivers and local city drivers paid on a mile­
age or commission basis were excluded from the
study. Data were obtained primarily from local
union officials by mail questionnaire. In some
cities data were obtained from regional repre­
sentatives of the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers
of America (AFL), or from local union officials
by Bureau representatives.

Union scales for some local motortruck
drivers in each of the 77 cities studied a d ­
vanced between July 1, 1951> and July 1, 1952.
The average increase, on a city basis, ranged
from 0.1 percent in Butte to 13*5 percent in
Charlotte, N. C. In two-thirds of the cities,
the advance averaged from 3 to 8 percent. Gains
averaging more than 10 percent were recorded
for seven cities, four of which were in the
South. Upward adjustments amounted to less
than 5 cents an hour for unionized truck driv­
ers in a fifth of the cities covered, from 5 to
10 cents in two-fifths, and from 10 to 15 cents
in a third. Hourly advances averaging 18 cents
or more were recorded by drivers in Kansas City
and Mobile (table k ).

Union scales are defined as the minimum
wage rates or maximum schedules of hours (be­
fore payment of premium overtime) agreed upon
through collective bargaining by employers and
unions. Rates in excess of the negotiated min­
imum which may be paid for special qualifi­
cations or other reasons are not included.
Average scales, designed to show current
levels, are based on all scales reported for
the current year in the cities covered. Indi­
vidual scales are weighted by the number of u n ­
ion members reported at the scale. These av ­
erages are not designed for close year-to-year
comparisons because of annual changes in un ­
ion membership and in classifications studied.

l/ In the index series, designed for trend
purposes, year-to-year changes in union scales
are based on comparable quotations for each
driver and helper classification in consecutive
years weighted by the number of union members
reported at each quotation in the current year.

Trend of Union Wage Scales
The 5*5 percent rise in union scales b e ­
tween July 1, 1951, and July 1, 1952, which was




almost equal to the gain registered in the pre­
vious 12 months advanced the Bureau1s index of
union wage scales of motortruck drivers and
helpers on al9*4-7-*4-9 base to 12U.7. 1/ (Table 1.)
The increase reflected advances of 5*3 percent
for drivers and 6.8 percent for helpers. During
the year ending July 1, 1952, union local city
truck drivers recorded an average scale advance
of 9 cents an hour; scales for helpers moved up
an average of 10 cents.

2

Of the 71 cities in which data were ob ­
tained for helpers, local unions in 3 cities
reported that the scales in effect on July 1,
1951,
still prevailed. For other cities, the
average hourly gain ranged from 0.6 cents in
Memphis to 21.5 cents in Syracuse. A fourth of
the cities recorded scale increases averaging
less than 5 cents an hour; a similar proportion
averaged from 10 to 15 cents, and three-tenths
from 5 to 10 cents.
Union hourly scales of truck drivers av­
eraged $ 1 . 7 8
on July 1, 1952. Collective-bar­
gaining agreements providing for wage scales of
$1.50 to $2 an hour prevailed for 7 of every 10
drivers studied, and of $2 or more for one of
every five (table 5 ). Helpers averaged $1.52
an hour; nearly half of these workers were cov­
ered by contracts stipulating rates of $1.50 to
$1.75 an hour. Scales of $1.25 to $1.50 were
in effect for a fourth of the helpers;
scales
of less than $1.25 were applicable to one of
every eight and of $1.75 or more to one of
every seven.
City and Regional Differentials
Hourly scales of motortruck drivers and
helpers differ not only among cities and re­
gions but also among various classifications of
commodities hauled within individual cities.
Wage scales also vary locally by size or type
of truck operated. Intercity or Nation-wide
comparisons of union scales based on commod­
ities hauled, industry, and/or size and type of
truck are not possible because of the varying
terminology and classifications used in the in­
dividual cities.
Hates of drivers and helpers varied widely
between cities. The variations that exist b e ­
tween the scales for union drivers and helpers
in six typical cities in various sections of
the Nation are shown in table 6.
On July 1, 1952, union hourly scales for
drivers averaged highest in Oakland, Calif.
($2.10), and lowest in Charleston, S. C., and
New Orleans, La.
($1.16). The average wage
scale ranged from $ 1 . 5 0 to $1.75 in two of
every five cities studied, and exceeded $1.75
in one of every four. Levels of less than
$ 1 . 2 5 an hour were recorded for five cities.
Average union scales for helpers ranged
from 85 cents an hour in Memphis to $1.99 in
Oakland. In Oakland, San Francisco, and Seattle,
scales for helpers averaged higher than the
$ 1 . 7 8 national average for drivers.
When the cities are grouped according to
population, scales averaged highest in the more
populated centers, and descended according to
city-size grouping with one exception; drivers
and helpers in cities with a population of
250,000 to 500,000 averaged 9 and 3 cents more,
than the next larger size group­

Within each size group, average hourly
scales of drivers and helpers showed consider­
able variation among cities constituting the
group. Among drivers, New York ranked eighth,
Chicago seventh, and Philadelphia twenty-ninth;
Peoria and Phoenix, which had the highest
average scales in the second smallest-sized
group, ranked tenth and eleventh, respectively,
in city scale levels. Charleston, W. Va., led
the smallest-sized group with an average hourly
scale of $1,737 to rank nineteenth, ahead of
Cleveland and Boston. Similarly, the highest
city levels for helpers were not always in
the population group with the highest average
scale. Spokane, in the group of cities with
populations of 100,000 to 250,000 with an av­
erage scale of $1,753 for helpers, had a level
higher than that of any city with a million or
more population.
On a regional basis, average scales for
motortruck drivers and helpers combined ranged
from $1.30 in the Southeast to $ 1 .9 8 on the
Pacific Coast. The Middle Atlantic and Great
Lakes regions, each with a level of $ 1 .7 8 , were
the only other regions to exceed the national
average. Union hourly scales averaged highest
on the Pacific Coast for both drivers ($1.99)
and helpers ($1.79); and lowest in the South­
west for drivers ($1.3*0, and in the Southeast
for helpers ($1 .09 ). The latter two regions
and the Border States were the only regions with
levels below $1.6o for drivers and $1.**0 for
helpers (table 8).
Standard Workweek
Collective-bargaining agreements in effect
on July 1, 1952, provided standard weekly work
schedules of
hours for about seven-tenths of
the drivers and helpers in 77 cities. Nearly
three-fourths of the drivers and slightly more
than two-thirds of the helpers were on such
schedules (table 9 )• A U8-hour work schedule
was stipulated in contracts covering a seventh
of the drivers and nearly a fifth of the
helpers.
Changes in straight-time weekly hours b e ­
tween July 1, 1951? and July 1, 1952, reduced
the average workweek for union motortruck driv­
ers and their helpers to *4-1.9 and lowered the
index to 9 8 .3 * The standard workweek was *4-1.8
hours for drivers and *4-2.3 for helpers.
Union Scales by City and Classification
Union scales of wages and hours in effect
on July 1, 1951, and July 1, 1952, for each
classification of truck drivers and helpers in
each of the 77 cities included in the study are
presented in table 10. Where more than one u n ­
ion agreement was in effect for the same clas­
sification in a particular city, the letters A,
B, C, etc., were used to designate the vari­
ous effective agreements. The sequence of the
letters does not indicate the relative impor­
tance of the agreements or the scales.
