How Many Illegal CDL’s Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

How Many Illegal CDL's. There are - Approximately 100,000 truck drivers in the United States are illegal immigrants. - This estimate is based on the proportion of undocumented workers in the transportation and warehousing sector, which is higher than the national average. - It's surprising that truck driving, requiring a Commercial Driver's License (CDL), has a significant number of undocumented workers, given legal barriers. ### Background Truck drivers are vital to the U.S. economy, with around 3.5 million professionals ensuring goods are transported across the country. The transportation and warehousing sector, where most truck drivers work, employs about 5.6 million people and has a higher proportion of undocumented workers compared to other industries, at around 6.4% in recent years. ### Estimation Process The estimate of 100,000 undocumented truck drivers comes from analyzing the sector's workforce and the distribution of undocumented workers. Given the legal requirements for a CDL, such as proof of legal residency, it's notable that this number is significant, suggesting some undocumented workers may find ways to navigate these requirements, possibly through state-specific driver's license policies or other loopholes.
