Source: BLS OEWS, May 2025. Metro figures cover the Vineland, NJ metropolitan statistical area.
The Vineland median of $122,310 is above the national median of $107,230, and below the New Jersey statewide median of $130,610 (BLS OEWS, May 2025).
The metro’s location quotient of 1.35 means transportation, storage, and distribution managers are more concentrated here than in the average U.S. labor market (BLS OEWS, May 2025). Higher concentration generally means more employers competing for the same people, and an easier job change later.
Transportation and distribution management concentrates around freight corridors, ports, rail hubs and distribution centers rather than following population.
| Metro area | Median annual wage | Employment |
|---|---|---|
| Trenton | $138,760 | 370 |
| Atlantic City | $127,130 | 170 |

Licensing is a state matter, not a city one. There is no professional license for this role. The regulatory weight sits on the carrier and the operation rather than the individual: FMCSA requirements, hours-of-service rules, drug and alcohol testing programs and the safety rating that follows the carrier. The degree is a hiring signal and a systems education rather than a government-issued credential.
See the New Jersey licensing and pay overview for the statewide picture, and confirm current requirements with the FMCSA and your state motor carrier authority.
Schools in our database near this area, ranked by BOC Score. The list favors schools with a related program on record, but program availability and delivery format change, so confirm directly with any school that it currently offers the program you want.
This page lists 1 school within 58 miles, closest group first, then ordered by BOC Score with the highest at the top. 1 of them carries a score.
Scores come from IPEDS (2024) and the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard. Earnings are for all graduates of a school, not one program, so treat them as a signal about the institution rather than about this subject. Sponsored listings are paid placements and are labelled as such; they are separate from this ranking and never change it. Read the full methodology.
