What do drivers want from their fleets? Find out with this survey data.

What do truck drivers want? That's the million dollar question; a code that only a few carriers have managed to crack consistently.

Glean valuable insights from the latest CCJ survey — sponsored by Lytx — of more than 500 company drivers and owner-operators and gain access to:

• Pay (what they are getting and wanting to get)
• Why they switch fleets
• What they like and don't like about their jobs
• Family life and home time
• Miles/Loads
• Important equipment and truck features.


Did you know that, according to our recent poll of more than 500 leased owner-operators and company drivers that: 

• the one thing drivers dislike most about their job has nothing to do with their employer?

• drivers are very concerned about their physical health? It was their No. 2 concern behind simply paying their bills. 

• drivers think pay is the top reason fleets have a hard time finding and keeping drivers, but a lack of respect is a close second. 

• most drivers say they would rather have a comfortable driver's seat than a new truck. 

• 61% of respondents think forward facing cameras are the No. 1 thing fleets could deploy that improve safety. 

• 5% of drivers have received at least three pay raises in the last two years, while more than half haven't received one at all. 

• drivers overwhelmingly (59%) prefer to be coached in-person, and they prefer to be coached by their peers and fellow drivers (20%), not managers.
