  1 The overall classification for truckdrivers and heavy equipment operators include data for workers not identified by type of equipment.
  2 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.  Also excluded are performance bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries,
as well as profit-sharing payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses.  Pay increases, but not bonuses, under cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments,
however, are included.  See Scope and Method of Survey for definitions and methods used to compute means, medians, and middle ranges.
  3 Workers were distributed as follows: 4 percent at $6.50 and under $7; 5 percent at $7 and under $7.50; and 6 percent at $7.50 and under $8.
  4 Less than 0.5 percent.
  5 Workers were distributed as follows: 1 percent at $20 and under $21; 3 percent at $21 and under $22; 4 percent at $22 and under $23; 2 percent at $24 and under $25; 7 percent at $26 and under $27; 2 percent at
$27 and under $28; and 5 percent at $29 and under $30.
  6 All workers were at $21 and under $22.
