JOB SATISFACTION OF U.S. COMMERCIAL DRIVERS

Trucking firms relying on company drivers to any extent will not achieve an advantage in a highly competitive industry if they do not understand their employees. But understanding them is only the first step in creating that competitive advantage. This understanding must be carried into a program of earnest partnership in which both the driver and the trucking firm benefit. This study provides information to encourage that first step--understanding the driver's concerns, needs, and wants. A total of thirteen truckload firms located throughout the nation participated in the study. Results are based on responses to a 20-page questionnaire by 3,174 company drivers, who worked for the participating firms. The sample was not random, but it was intended to be representative of the truckload industry.
