What the Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median says in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA at $53,980 per year.

BLS lists 920 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $57,110 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA's Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median is 7.9% below the U.S. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median of $58,640 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.

Like-for-like rank
Where Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA sits for Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers
Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA ranks 265 of 393 among metro areas with a published annual median for Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 265 of 393 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.
The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.
262. Amarillo, TX has a Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median of $54,290 per year, 2,230 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.36.

Pay leaders
Where Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 53-3032, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Lincoln, NE has the highest published median in this set, at $81,790 per year. Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA sits at $53,980 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Lincoln, NE has a Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median of $81,790 per year, or $27,810 above Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. BLS lists 4,530 jobs there, compared with 920 in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. The location quotient is 1.87.
2. Fairbanks-College, AK has a Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median of $76,560 per year, or $22,580 above Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. BLS lists 590 jobs there, compared with 920 in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. The location quotient is 1.21.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers in this same-source set, at 65,100 jobs. Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA has 920. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.
A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.
Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.
1. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 65,100 estimated Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs, a gap of 64,180 jobs from Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. Its median is $65,040 per year, or $11,060 above Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. Its location quotient is 0.52.
2. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has 62,210 estimated Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs, a gap of 61,290 jobs from Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. Its median is $62,300 per year, or $8,320 above Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. Its location quotient is 1.04.
Local-share leaders
Where Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers takes the largest share of local jobs
Laredo, TX has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.76. Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA has 0.94. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Laredo, TX has a location quotient of 3.76, a gap of 2.82 from Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. BLS lists 5,460 Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs and a median of $49,010 per year, or $4,970 below Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA.
2. Joplin, MO-KS has a location quotient of 3, a gap of 2.06 from Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. BLS lists 3,470 Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs and a median of $47,430 per year, or $6,550 below Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA.
Job scale and share
How common Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers is in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA
BLS lists 920 Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. It also lists 12.4 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 0.94. A value of 1 means Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
Local job mix

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.

Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has 920 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 74,070. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 2,450 jobs in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA, a gap of 1,530 from Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. Its median is $45,950 per year, or $8,030 below Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. Its location quotient is 3.67.

Published role medians around Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA role table, at $111,630 per year. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has $53,980 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,120 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. Software Developers has a median of $111,630 per year in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA, or $57,650 above Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. BLS lists 590 jobs, compared with 920 for Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. Its location quotient is 0.73.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA
Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical Assemblers, Except Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA role table, at 4.75. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has 0.94. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.
A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.
The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical Assemblers, Except Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers has a location quotient of 4.75 in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA, a gap of 3.81 from Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers.

Price-level view
What $53,980 may mean after the Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA is 92.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $53,980 Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median by 92.7 divided by 100. The result is $58,225 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 74.4. Goods are 96.8. Utilities are 88.1. Other services are 98.6. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA row
The employment RSE for this Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers row is 3.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.4%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.
The employment RSE belongs to the 920 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $57,110 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.
A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.
Job and résumé path
Use Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. It uses a Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.
Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $53,980 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.
Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.
Limits
What the Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers row for Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA does not claim
The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.
The 920 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.94 is not a growth score. Rank 265 of 393 is not a place score. The 92.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 53-3032 in BLS area 13980. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
