Truckload LTL
10 Million CDL Holders 3.5 Million “Truck” Drivers
1.8 Million Heavy & Tractor-Trailer Drivers
880,710 For-Hire Trucking Heavy & Tractor-Trailer Drivers
Based on government data, ATA estimates that there are roughly 500,000 - 600,000 OTR for- hire TL drivers.
The driver shortage is primarily an over-the-road for-hire truckload issue. So how many drivers are in that space?
