    A few larger companies do.

        Teamsters have a freight division but the total teamster membership was 1.3 in 2015 and there were 3.6 million truckers in the United States in 2020, so I wouldn’t say most truckers are in a union.

        Teamsters doesn’t disclose what percent of their membership is made up by their freight division

          Don’t forget that the package division(ups) is a large chunk of their membership.

          According to their website “The Package Division is the union’s largest division, serving hundreds of thousands of members throughout North America.”
