What is the Davis-Bacon prevailing wage for a truck driver in Louisiana?

There is no single figure. Active federal determinations for Louisiana publish 80 truck driver classification rates ranging from $8.00 to $25.57 per hour before fringe benefits. The rate that applies depends on the county, the type of construction and the wage determination incorporated into the contract.

How many counties in Louisiana have a published truck driver rate?

64 of the counties covered by active federal determinations list at least one truck driver classification.

Do these rates apply to state-funded projects?

No. These are federal Davis-Bacon rates, which apply to federally funded or assisted construction. Louisiana may set its own prevailing wage rates for state and locally funded work; the state law summary is on the Louisiana prevailing wage page.
