Truck wages

Truck wages are wages paid not in conventional money but instead in the form of payment in kind (i.e. commodities, including goods and/or services); credit with retailers; or a money substitute, such as scrip, chits, vouchers or tokens. Truck wages are a characteristic of a truck system.

This article is about non-monetary wages. For the vehicles, see truck. For the form of transport, see trucking. For some forms of crop-growing, see truck farming.

"Truck", in this context, is a relatively archaic English word meaning "exchange" or "barter".
