Bigger Paycheck or Home Time? With Poll Results

We are always trying to improve employee satisfaction in the companies we work with by improving the understanding between trucking companies and their employees.
Of course, things are simpler when it comes to mechanics, safety or any other office job and they get more complicated when it comes to driving positions. The biggest reason is the fact that truck drivers do almost all of the legwork while everyone else gets to wake up in their comfy bed. Well since COVID-19 we’ve even seen a lot of office jobs being performed from home. 

What do you think is more important to truck drivers, more home time or a bigger paycheck? Well, we’ve decided to create a poll and ask, so without further ado here is the result. 

One of the more important aspects, or the most important aspect as we learned, of a trucking job is home time. In the poll that we made with 1500 truck drivers from various states and job positions home time is more important to the majority of truck drivers while the pay is the key aspect for 29% of drivers.
The results are below.
