How many licensed commercial drivers are in the united states now?

Hello--

Licensing drivers, including commercial ones, is the responsibility of
each state. It appears as though there is no one central agency or
group that gathers this kind of information. To get an exact number of
commercial driver's licenses issued across the country, you'd probably
need to contact each state individually.

I hope this helps.

I tried answering this one, only to find re-read that you wanted
commercial drivers and not all total drivers with all kinds of
licenses (not nessacaraly commercial). The Federal HighWay
Administration (FHWA) of the US Department of transportation has
statistics of this kind. The problem is they are not complete for all
states.

See here:

Driver Licensing Section of Highway Statistics 2000

and here

Motor-Vehicle Driver Licenses 2000
http://www.fhwa.dot.gov////ohim/hs00/dl1.htm

for the most recent (2000) statistics of this nature.

Sorry I could not help you further.
