How much does a Truck driver earn?
We're still collecting salary data for Truck driver. In the meantime, see what affects your pay in this role.
Where do these numbers come from?
This range comes straight from active vacancies on Werkvolk, not from a survey or an estimate. We only publish a range once at least five different employers state a salary, and we round the bounds, so you can never read off what one particular company pays. The range moves as new vacancies go live. In the app you see the exact salary per vacancy.
Pay by province
There are still too few employers per province for Truck driver to show a reliable range. We publish one as soon as at least five employers in the same province state a salary.
What determines your pay within this range?
As a truck driver, your license category, Code 95, and the type of transport (national or international) all play a major role in your pay.
Benefits beyond your salary
Temp agency or permanent: what's the difference?
With Werkvolk, you always apply directly with the employer, never through a temp agency.
Through a temp agency
- The agency withholds a share of your pay as its fee
- Limited seniority build-up between assignments
- Uncertainty over whether your contract gets renewed
- Often less access to company benefits than permanent colleagues
Directly through Werkvolk
- Your full salary goes to you, with no intermediary
- You build seniority and benefits from day one
- You know the salary and benefits that come with the job upfront
- Direct communication with the employer, no middleman
Frequently asked questions about this salary
Does an international driver earn more than a national driver?
International transport often comes with extra allowances, such as daily allowances, but also more time away from home. Compare the terms per vacancy.
Is Code 95 mandatory to drive?
Yes, Code 95 is a legal requirement for professional drivers. Without a valid Code 95, you cannot start, regardless of the pay offered.
