Questions
How are the best cities for truck driver (heavy) ranked?
By money left each month for one adult in a one-bedroom, after tax and rent, at the BLS OEWS May 2025 median wage for that metro. Cities without a published metro median are left off. Employment and location quotient are shown beside the rank. They do not change the order.
Is the pay a real local wage?
Yes. Each row uses the published metro median from BLS OEWS May 2025. A state median or a national estimate is not used on this list.
