Using data from detailed surveys of truck drivers, we analyze the wages and working conditions of drivers involved in port drayage. We also focus on drivers' willingness to pay for retrofitting and their preferences regarding different truck replacement programs. We find that drivers are willing to pay a portion of truck retrofitting costs. Drivers with high annual incomes are willing to pay more for retrofitting. We also find that though a grant-based truck replacement program was ranked highest among drivers, drivers 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.
