This paper outlines comparing two independent samples, particularly average driver salary in Slovakia and the
other EU countries. Significant differences between salaries are pointed out through two examples dealing with hypothesis
testing. For Western European Union countries, the level of salaries in road transport is higher in absolute terms compared
to the salaries of drivers in the central and eastern parts of the European Union. Different salaries and requirements of wage
regulations create a discriminatory environment among entrepreneurs however harmonization of salaries in the field of road
transport is specific because carriers offer transport throughout the whole European Union market.
