Driver pay highlights in early 2024: Per-mile incentives swell while base pay gains remain moderate

While base pay gains have moderated and stabilized, current data published this month in NTI’s National Survey of Driver Wages shows year-over-year changes do persist for drivers’ base hourly and mileage pay.
