Union Wages and Hours of Motortruck Drivers and Helpers, July 1,1955

1

500, 000. The cities in the 100, 000 to 250, 000
group selected for study were distributed widely
throughout the United States. The data for some
of the cities included in the study in the two
smaller sized groups were weighted in order to
compensate for cities which were not surveyed.
In order to provide appropriate representation
in the combination of data, each geographic
region and population group was considered
separately when city weights were assigned.

Summary

Hourly wage scales of unionized local
motortruck drivers and helpers in cities of
100,000 or more population rose on the average,
11 cents, or 5 .7 percent, in the 12 months
ending July 1, 1955, 1
2 The average union scale
as of July 1, 1955, for drivers and helpers
combined was $ 2 .0 6 an hour.
Rate revisions effective during the year as
provided in labor-management contracts resulted
in scale increases for 87 percent of the local
trucking workers included in the study.
The
increases varied from 5 to 15 cents an hour
for nearly three-fifths of all workers included
in the study and amounted to 25 cents or more
for almost a tenth. In about two-fifths of the
cities, average scales rose from 5 to 10 cents
for both drivers and helpers.

The averages computed on the basis of
hourly scales are designed to show current rate
levels in effect on July 1, 1955.
Individual
scales are weighted by the number of union
members having each rate. These averages are
not designed for precise y ear-to-year compari­
sons because of fluctuations in membership and
in classifications studied. Average cents-perhour and percent changes from July 1, 1954, to
July 1, 1955, are based on comparable quota­
tions for the various occupational classifications
in both periods, weighted by the membership
reported for the current survey.
The index
series, designed for trend purposes, is sim i­
larly constructed.

Straight-time weekly work schedules for
drivers and helpers continued their downward
trend, averaging 4 0 .9 hours on July 1, 1955.
Four of every five workers included in the study
were employed under contracts specifying 40hour straight-time work schedules.

Scale Changes, 1 9 54-55

The 5.7-percent increase in average scales
of union truckdrivers and helpers between
July 1, 1954, and July 1, 1955, exceeded the
4 . 3-percent gain recorded in the previous 12
months, and advanced the index of hourly rates
to a level of 4 8 .2 percent above the years
1947-49 (table l).
Gains for drivers averaged
the same as that for drivers and helpers com­
bined—5. 7 percent or 11 cents an hour. Helpers
scales rose 5 .8 percent or 10 cents.

Scope and Method of Study

Union scales are defined as the minimum
wage scales or maximum schedules of hours
agreed upon through collective bargaining be­
tween trade unions and employers.
Rates in
excess of the negotiated minimum, which may
be paid for special qualifications or other rea­
sons, are not included.

Wage adjustments for local trucking workers
were primarily achieved through negotiations
on contract expirations or reopenings. 3 Rate
changes for both drivers and helpers were
widespread throughout the industry, affecting 88

The information presented in this report
was based on union scales in effect on July 1,
1955, and covered approximately 265,000 drivers
and 40, 000 helpers in 52 cities with populations
of 100, 000 or m ore.
O ver-the-road drivers
and local city drivers paid on a mileage or
commission basis were excluded from the study.
Data were obtained from local union officials
primarily by mail questionnaire; in some cities,
data were obtained from regional or local of­
ficials of the union by Bureau representatives.

The current survey was designed to re­
flect union wage scales of local motortruck
drivers and helpers in all cities of 100, 000 or
more population.
A ll cities with 500, 000 or
more population were included, as were most
cities in the population group of 250, 000 to




l

2

percent of the drivers and 84 percent of their
helpers.
Of the workers whose scales ad­
vanced, 2 of every 3 had increases varying
from 5 to 15 cents; 1 of every 5, from 15 to
25 cents; and 1 of every 10, 2 5 cents or more.
The advances represented gains of 3 to 6 p er­
cent for approximately half of the workers bene­
fiting from scale revisions.
About a fifth of
the drivers eand a fourth of the helpers had
scale advances of 10 percent or more (table 2).

Hourly rates of pay varied widely among
the 52 cities included in the study. They ranged
from 95 cents to $ 3 .4 5 for motortruck drivers
and from 76 cents to $ 2 .6 2 for helpers. The
rates ranged from $1. 75 to $2 an hour for 21
percent of the motortruck drivers; from $2 to
$ 2 .2 5 for 43 percent, and from $ 2 .2 5 to $2 . 50
for 21 percent.
Rates of $ 2 .5 0 or more an
hour were reported for 6percent of the drivers,
and of less than $ 1 .5 0 an hour for 2 percent.
Scales for helpers ranged from $ 1 .5 0 to $ 1 .7 5
for 2 4 percent; from $1.75 to $2 for 41 percent;
and from $2 to $ 2 .2 5 for 25 percent. About
3 percent of the helpers had negotiated scales
of $ 2 .2 5 or more an hour, for 7 percent, the
reported rate was less than $ 1 .5 0 .
For all
cities combined, scales averaged $ 2 .0 9 for
drivers and $ 1 .8 5 for helpers (table 5).
Some truckdrivers in each of the 52 cities
included in the survey obtained upward wage
adjustments in rates.
The city increases in
average hourly rates varied from less than 1
cent in Little Rock to 30 cents in Atlanta. Part
of the increase in Atlanta resulted from a r e ­
duction in weekly straight-time hours with no
reduction in weekly earnings for two c la ssifi­
cations of drivers. Average hourly increases
ranged from 5 to 10 cents an hour in 21 cities
and from 10 to 15 cents in 20 others.
Eight
cities indicated average gains of 15 cents or
m ore. Among the 49 cities, for which data for
truckers* helpers were reported, 21 had scales
indicating average increases of 5 to 10 cents
an hour, and 14 of 10 to 15 cents (table 4).

C ity and R egional S cale L e v e ls

Inasmuch as labor-management contracts
for the trucking industry are usually negotiated
on a locality basis, wage scales for the indivi­
dual cities differ considerably. Such differences
are associated not only with geographic location
but with the size and type of truck and the kind
of commodities hauled within individual cities.
Because of these differences in classifications
and terminology among cities, it is impossible
to present separate averages by type of com ­
modity, industry, or type and size of truck.




Average hourly scales for truckdrivers
ranges from $ 1 .4 0 in Charlotte, N. C. , to
$ 2 .3 8 in San Francis co-Oakland.
They av­
eraged $ 2 .2 5 or more in 4 other cities, and
ranged from $2 to $ 2 .2 5 in 21, from $ 1 .7 5
to $2 in 18, and from $ 1 .5 0 to $ 1 .7 5 in 6.

Helpers scales averaged highest in San
Francisco-Oakland ($ 2 . 18) and lowest in B ir­
mingham ($ 1. 04). Levels of $2 or more pre­
vailed in 8 other cities and of less than $ 1 .2 5
in 2 others. Hourly rates averaged $ 1 .7 5 to
$2 in 21 of the cities studied, and $ 1 .5 0 to
$ 1 .7 5 in 11 others.
When the individual cities were grouped
according to population, scales for motortruck
drivers averaged $ 2 .2 0 for the 5 cities with
1 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 or more population and $ 1 .8 8 for
the 100,000 to 250,000 population size group.
The averages for cities with populations of
250,000 to 500,000 and of 500,000 to 1 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0
were practically the same— $ 2 .1 0 and $ 2 .0 9 ,
respectively. For helpers, the average scales
for the 3 largest size city groups showed but
slight variation. The average for the group of
cities with 500,000 to 1 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 population
($ 1 .8 6 ) was 2 cents lower than for the largest
cities, and 3 cents below that for the 250,000
to 500,000 population group. The average for
the sm allest size city group was $ 1 .7 3 . Scale
levels for both drivers and helpers overlapped
among cities in the different size groups. For
example, the average for drivers in Newark,
N. J. ($ 2 .2 9 ) in the 250,000 to 500,000 group
was higher than in any city in the 2 next larger
size groups except San Francisco—Oakland
(table 6).

Regionally, wage levels were highest on
the Pacific Coast for both drivers ($ 2 .2 3 ) and
helpers ($ 2 .0 7 ) and lowest for drivers ($ 1 .6 8 )
in the Southwest and for truckers* helpers
($ 1 .2 3 ) in the Southeast. Drivers and helpers
in the Middle Atlantic and Great Lakes regions
and helpers in the Middle West region also had
scale levels exceeding the average for all cities
combined (table 7).

Standard Workweek

Straight-time weekly hours for drivers and
helpers in local trucking averaged 40. 9 hours
on July 1, 1955, compared with 41 .1 on July 1.,
1954; 45.8 on July 1, 1945; and 48. 1 on May 15,
1936.
Except for a few years during World
War II, the Bureau* s index of weekly hours for
motortruck drivers and helpers has declined
steadily since 1936.

The prevalence of negotiated health, insurance, and
pension program s for local m otortruck drivers and helpers
was fir s t studied in July 1954. Information for these plans
was restricted to those financed entirely by the employer
or jointly by the workers and em p loyers.
Plans financed
by workers through union dues or a ssessm en ts were e x ­
cluded from the study.
No attempt was made to secure
information on the kind and extent of benefits provided or
on the cost of plans providing such benefits.
