• Truck dealership bosses have maintained their earnings despite the market downturn because staff cuts have left a greater pool of commission for those still in jobs.
This finding comes from a survey of motor trade wages by recruitment consultant Aplin Phillimore which shows that a truck dealer principal in London and the South East earns on average £37,436 a year — with £6,500 coming from commission. In 1989 the commission share was £4,429.
A dealer in Yorkshire and the North East earns £32,809, compared with £28,750 when the survey was last carried out twoand-a-half years ago. Motor trade dealers earn considerably more than their truck counterparts — a dealer in the South is likely to earn nearly £40,000.
