Preface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual surveys of wage scales and scheduled hours of work for specified crafts or jobs as provided in labor-management agreements in four indus­tries: Building construction, printing, local transit, and local trucking. The studies present the wage scales in effect on July 1, as reported to the Bureau by the appropriate local labor organiza­tions in the cities included in the survey.

Information on the union scales and hours prevailing in the local trucking industry in each of 68 selected cities is available on request in October of the year the survey is made. Requests should be directed to the Bureau’ s regional offices listed on the inside back cover. An advance release summarizing the scales for motor­truck drivers and helpers on a nationwide basis was issued in January 1969.

This study was conducted in the Bureau’ s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations. The bulletin, which provides a comprehensive account of the current study and includes indexes of wages and hours for 1936-68, was prepared by Arthur I. Rose in the Division of Occupational Wage Structures.

Union Wages and Hours:

Motortruck Drivers and Helpers, July 1, 1968

Summary

During the year ending July 1,1968, union hourly wage scales for motortruck drivers and drivers’ helpers in cities of 100,000 population or more rose 5.2 percent to an average of $3.75. This gain, representing a 19-cent-per-hour increase in the average, brought the Bureau’ s index of these scales to 152.4 (1957-59=100). The 1967-68 annual advance was less than the 5.9-percent increase registered in 1966-67, but higher than any other year since 1957- 58. Scales advanced an average of 5.3 percent (19 cents) for drivers and 5.2 percent (17 cents) for drivers’ helpers during the 1967-68 period bringing their respective indexes to 152.4 and 154.1 (table 1).

Almost all workers covered by the survey re­ceived upward scale adjustments daring the year. Scales rose from 4 to 6 percent for nearly three- fifths of all drivers. Nearly one-fifth of the drivers received scale adjustments of less than 4 percent and a similar proportion had scale increases of 6 percent or more. The distribution of percentage in­creases in scales for drivers’ helpers was generally similar to that for drivers (table 4). Distributions of cent-per-hour increases are presented separately for drivers and their helpers in table 5.

Hourly scales for drivers averaged $3.78 on July 1, 1968, compared with $3.36 for helpers, who are not found in all segments of the local motor­truck industry. Where comparisions were possible within the same area and motortruck operation (e.g., beer and ice cream deliveries) scales for drivers and their helpers usually varied by 25 cents an hour or less (table 10).

Regionally, average hourly scales for drivers and helpers combined ranged from $4.15 in the Pacific to slightly more than $3.40 in the Border States, Southwest, and Mountain regions (table 7). Scales averaged $3.77 in the Great Lakes region and between $3.61 and $3.65 in the remaining regions.

Within each region, average scales for drivers exceeded those for helpers by amounts ranging from 17 cents in the Border States to $1.66 in the Southeast.

Among the 68 cities surveyed, drivers* average rates ranged from a high of $4.48 in Sacramento to a low of $3.12 in Washington, D.C. For helpers, the highest average rate was recorded in San Fran­cisco ($4.04) and the lowest in Birmingham ($1.67).

Scheduled weekly hours were reported for al­most all workers. Slightly more than 96 percent of all drivers and helpers had a straight-time work­week of 40 hours, as shown in table 6.

Contract provisions for employer financed health and welfare and/or pension plans applied to most workers surveyed. Where available, information on these plans is presented in table 10 which lists the amount of employer contribution by city and type of driver and driver helper.

Scope and Method of Study

Union scales are those agreed on through col­lective bargaining between trade unions and em­ployers, and defined as (1) the basic (minimum) wage scales (excluding holiday, vacation, or other benefit payments regularly made or credited to the worker each pay period), and (2) the maximum schedules of hours at straight-time rates. Rates exceeding the negotiated minimum, which may be paid for special qualifications or other reasons, are not included.

The information presented in this bulletin was based on union scales in effect on July 1, 1968, and covered approximately 320,000 drivers and 35,000 helpers in 68 cities of 100,000 population or more.

This study excluded local city drivers paid on a mileage or commission basis and over-the-road drivers operating between cities or various parts of the United States. Data were obtained primarily from local union officials by mail questionnaire; in some instances, Bureau economists visited local union officials to obtain the desired information.

The current survey was designed to reflect union wage scales of local motortruck drivers and helpers in all cities of 100,000 population or more, excluding Honolulu. All cities with 500,000 popu­lation or more were included, as were most cities in the 250,000 to 500,000 group. The cities selected for study in the 100,000 to 250,000 group were dis­tributed widely throughout the United States. Data for some cities were weighted to compensate for cities which were not surveyed. To provide appro­

priate representation in the combination of data, each geographic region was considered separately when city weights were assigned.

Average hourly scales, designed to show cur­rent rate levels, were based on all scales reported in effect on July 1, 1968. Individual scales were weighted by the number of union members at each rate. These averages are not designed for precise year-to-year comparisons because of fluctuations in membership and in classifications s tu d ie d . Average cents-per-hour and percent changes from July 1, 1967, to July 1, 1968, however, were based on comparable quotations for the various occupa­tional classifications in both periods, weighted by the membership reported for the current (1968) survey. The index series, designed for trend pur­poses, was similarly constructed.
