Since 1995, the Pays de la Loire Social Observatory has been producing a number of indicators on the situation in the road haulage sector. The information studied concerns working conditions and wages; it is based on data from a panel of 300 drivers operating in the Pays de la Loire region. The survey is based on the opinions of drivers; although the precise value of each variable cannot be relied upon, it is nevertheless interesting to observe the major trends. It should be noted that drivers have seen a steady improvement in their situation over the last five years. The majority of drivers now work less than 50 hours per week and earn more than 8,000 francs net. This study is in line with other work on the subject, which is also discussed in this article.
