• Abstract:
  Using data from detailed surveys of truck drivers, the wages and working conditions of drivers involved in port drayage were analyzed. Focus as on drivers' willingness to pay for retrofitting and their preferences regarding different truck replacement programs. It was found that drivers are willing to pay a portion of truck retrofitting costs. It was also found that though a grant-based truck replacement program was ranked highest among drivers, they were somewhat polarized on this program; many drivers also ranked this program as their least favorite. A subsidized interest rate program had the most cumulative first and second rankings.
