    How it can be that car haulers average salary is less than fast food chain worker in NYC.

    Where this bureau gets this figures? or how they rely on driver interviews. Most of the drivers are supposed to hide their income if interviewed by some bureau or semi-government agency (if it is not IRS)

    so what's going on?

    I think you're looking at the wrong category. Manufacturing transport is the one to look at. And that number is low. Any carhauler worth a spit can double that $50K.

    I've never heard of any auto transporter making less than 60k and that was with a bunch of home time. Idk who the hell in their right mind would do this job for less than a dry van driver

    The labor board does it all the time as per the current administration. Oops, I guess we're not to know that. I've been told I'm a trucker and considered low information. Lol

    I don't have drivers. Came close to hiring a few but when I meet them and they talk and act like well, you, I realize it's not worth the stress dealing with a moron everyday.
