South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area was 15.6% below the U.S. median for Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. It ranked 103 of 137 nonmetro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median says in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area at $49,510 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 53-3032 and BLS area 2100002.
BLS lists 2,970 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 $53,270 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area's Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median is 15.6% 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 53-3032 with area 2100002
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 53-3032 and area 2100002. SOC 53-3032 names Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. Area 2100002 names South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.

Same-source checks
Compare South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $49,510 per year. Kentucky has $56,340 per year. The U.S. row has $58,640 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area is 12.1% below Kentucky on the same published median. South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area is 15.6% below the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are bench marks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
Like-for-like rank
Where South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area sits for Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers
South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area ranks 103 of 137 among nonmetro 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 103 of 137 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.
100. Southwest Missouri nonmetropolitan area has a Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median of $49,610 per year, 1,110 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.05.
101. Arizona nonmetropolitan area has a Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median of $49,570 per year, 1,430 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.11.

Pay leaders
Where Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 53-3032, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Balance of Nevada nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $79,070 per year. South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area sits at $49,510 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. Balance of Nevada nonmetropolitan area has a Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median of $79,070 per year, or $29,560 above South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,850 jobs there, compared with 2,970 in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.55.
2. Alaska nonmetropolitan area has a Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median of $72,090 per year, or $22,580 above South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,200 jobs there, compared with 2,970 in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.83.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs
Kansas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers in this same-source set, at 8,100 jobs. South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has 2,970. 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. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 8,100 estimated Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs, a gap of 5,130 jobs from South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $51,070 per year, or $1,560 above South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.63.
2. Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has 6,770 estimated Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs, a gap of 3,800 jobs from South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $57,190 per year, or $7,680 above South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 2.7.
Local-share leaders
Where Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers takes the largest share of local jobs
West North Dakota nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 3.65. South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has 1.3. 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. West North Dakota nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 3.65, a gap of 2.35 from South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 4,230 Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs and a median of $62,400 per year, or $12,890 above South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area.
2. Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.7, a gap of 1.40 from South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 6,770 Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs and a median of $57,190 per year, or $7,680 above South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers is in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 2,970 Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 17.22 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 1.3. 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 higher 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
Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers beside other roles in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area is $42,150 per year. The Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers median is $49,510 per year. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers is 17.5% above the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. 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.
1. Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators, SOC 53-7051, has a South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area median of $50,610 per year. BLS lists 1,630 jobs and a location quotient of 1.9.

The largest detailed roles in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
Stockers and Order Fillers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area table, at 5,390 jobs. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has 2,970 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 172,150. 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. Stockers and Order Fillers has 5,390 jobs in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2,420 from Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. Its median is $35,710 per year, or $13,800 below Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. Its location quotient is 1.72.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 5,080 jobs in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2,110 from Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. Its median is $39,690 per year, or $9,820 below Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. Its location quotient is 3.27.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area role table, at $78,630 per year. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has $49,510 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $42,150 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $78,630 per year in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, or $29,120 above Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. BLS lists 3,770 jobs, compared with 2,970 for Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. Its location quotient is 1.01.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $68,240 per year in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, or $18,730 above Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. BLS lists 3,730 jobs, compared with 2,970 for Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. Its location quotient is 0.96.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area role table, at 3.67. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has 1.3. 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. Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders has a location quotient of 3.67 in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2.37 from Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. BLS lists 1,540 jobs and a median of $44,410 per year, or $5,100 below Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 3.27 in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.97 from Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. BLS lists 5,080 jobs and a median of $39,690 per year, or $9,820 below Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers.
Price-level view
What $49,510 may mean after the South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $49,510 BLS median stays a nominal wage.
No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.
You can still compare Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
Data care
How much care to use with the South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers row is 3.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.3%. 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 2,970 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $53,270 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 South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. It uses a South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area 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 $49,510 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 South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area 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 2,970 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.3 is not a growth score. Rank 103 of 137 is not a place score. A missing 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 2100002. 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.
How many Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers jobs does BLS estimate in South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area?
BLS published an employment estimate of 2,970 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
