The Commercial Truck dealership focused Dealership Workforce Study returns in 2023. Last year ATD and NADA launched the first ever Commercial Truck dealership focused study and saw increased participation.

The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) and American Truck Dealers (ATD) has prepared the "2022 ATD Dealership Workforce Study and Truck Retail: National & Regional Trends in Compensation, Benefits & Retention Report" to assist its dealer members in being as efficient as possible in the operation of their dealerships.
With thanks to our participating dealerships, we collected and analyzed 2021 calendar year payroll data which provided us with salary, demographics and turnover data along with responses to a benefits questionnaire. The questionnaire allowed us to analyze health plan benefits offered, retirement plans, paid time off, hiring trends, Electric Vehicle certifications and more.
All this data is presented in this latest report that is now available for purchase to all members who were not able to participate.
