Report: Average driver turnover rate at 35.8%
TORONTO (May 28, 2001) — Canadian trucking operations have an average turnover rate of 35.8%, according to a report released last week on industry compensation practices.
Turnover rates among other employees were lower, but well ahead of rates reported by other industries, said the survey’s author, Cerno Research, a Toronto-based firm.
The study, produced in partnership with the Canadian Trucking Alliance and its provincial affiliates, analyzes compensation information from nearly 300 trucking operations. The wage levels of more than 90,000 employees are represented in 94 different job descriptions ranging from junior employees to senior executives.
The study also covers over 30 topics regarding employment policies and benefits.
Cerno Research produced a similar but less comprehensive report on Ontario trucking operations last year.
