The American Transportation Research Institute is conducting research to understand the makeup of the U.S. truck driver population and how it is changing. More than 20 years of survey data from truck drivers will be analyzed by ATRI, and this latest truck driver survey will provide the most up-to-date information on the composition of the truck driver population today, allowing ATRI to compare changing trends.
This survey will seek insights into the professional and personal aspects of truck drivers today, enabling ATRI to understand the shifts in the truck driver population over the last few decades. All collected data will be kept confidential.

This survey is being conducted in concert with ATRI research assessing how underrepresented groups might be recruited into the trucking industry, including women, foster care participants, and formerly incarcerated individuals.
“As a driver with 33 years on the road, I have seen our driver workforce change over time,” said Richard Frazer, an America’s Road Team Captain and driver with Walmart Transportation. “Understanding what the truck driver population looks like today is crucial to ensuring that our needs are properly addressed, whether through support, training, or policies that are specifically tailored to truck drivers. This survey will provide valuable insights into the driver community and highlight areas where we can continue to grow.”
