To nitpick, the number of actual truck drivers is likely much lower. My guess is 2.5% includes mechanics, loaders, dispatchers, etc.

- bumby 4y agoONet lists ~2.1MM tractor trailer truck drivers.[1] BLS lists ~132MM total 16+ year old workers in the US. Or 117MM working full-time. [2] So about 1.6% - 1.8% maybe a bit more accurate?
