  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 Less than 0.5 percent.
  4 Workers were distributed as follows:  1 percent at $27 and under $28; 4 percent at $28 and under $29; 1 percent at $29 and under $30; and 4 percent at $30 and over.
  5 Workers were distributed as follows: 5 percent at $7 and under $7.50 and 5 percent at $7.50 and under $8.
  6 All workers were at $6 and under $6.50.
