Last year was a banner year for trucking by almost every meaningful metric. But despite trends that indicate most drivers made more money in 2018, the results of a survey conducted by CCJ this summer indicate drivers don’t feel remarkably different about their jobs than they did two years earlier.

In CCJ’s 2017 What Drivers Want survey, slightly more than half (53.2%) of surveyed drivers were mostly satisfied with their jobs and their ability to pay the bills. Just more than 31% noted a “good” career path, indicating they expected to make more money each year.

Another 15.5% were ready to get out of trucking altogether.
