The typical independent semitrailer dealer has sales of more than $14.6 million and pays its chief executive officer a base salary of $90,000 while its employees are offered health benefits and are most likely to have Christmas and Independence Day as paid holidays.
Those findings are part of the National Trailer Dealers Association (NTDA) 2007 Dealer Employee Compensation Survey Report. The report provides information on participating trailer dealer executive and employee compensation, including salaries, bonuses, and sales commissions. It also includes details on fringe benefits such as retirement programs, health insurance, and paid time off.
The report is a guide for trailer dealers that want to know how they compare with other companies through an analysis of pay scales within the industry, employee benefits, and sales information. The data can also prove valuable to executives who must prove their compensation is “reasonable” within the constraints of the Internal Revenue Code.
NTDA participating members receive the report free of charge. Non-participating NTDA members can purchase the report for $99 while non-members pay $199. For more information, or to order a copy, phone 800-800-4552, ext 134.
