A look at 2024’s driver pay hot spots and other trends in late 2024 as wage changes show some signs of life
Driver pay in the final months of 2024 has seen its largest year-over-year gains throughout 2024, albeit those gains still remain sluggish, according to current data in The National Transportation Institute’s National Survey of Driver Wages. Per-mile wages across experience levels — 1 year, 3 years, max experience, and cap earners — rose a percentage point from the same time in 2023. Those gains build on the late summer momentum NTI reported in September.
