A dor musculoesquelética em profissionais do setor de transporte tem sido relacionada às condições de trabalho. Objetivou-se estimar a prevalência de dor cervical e sua relação com a dor em outros sítios (braços, mãos e ombros). Verificou-se a associação entre dor no pescoço, relacionada ou não a dor nos outros sítios, com os fatores ocupacionais. Estudo transversal, descritivo e analítico. Foram entrevistados 799 motoristas e 708 cobradores de ônibus da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, Brasil. Para o desfecho foi considerada a resposta sobre existência de dor por área anatômica. A prevalência de dor musculoesquelética no pescoço foi de 16,3%. Para ombros, braços, mãos foram 15,4%, 13,3% e 6,3%, respectivamente. Aqueles com dor no pescoço apresentaram maiores prevalências de dores nas demais áreas estudadas. Os fatores associados à dor musculoesquelética foram sexo feminino, relato de incapacidade, percepção de ameaça a segurança, vibração, ruído elevado ou insuportável e adoção de postura desconfortável. Os resultados indicaram a elaboração de pistas para transformação do ambiente de trabalho, de maneira a contribuir para promoção da saúde dos trabalhadores.
