There is no sufficient amount, I would have to say millions and millions. A company like J.B. Hunt has about 25,000 trucks, and Snider has about 45,000 trucks (which are replace every so often) They are millions of company's with 100-500 trucks, who replace there trucks every so often. And millions of owner operators who own there own truck. Don't get me started on lease owner operators.
----------
The above numbers are greatly exaggerated. J.B. Hunt has a total of around 16,000 - 17,000 employees, not all of which are drivers. The number of power units they operate numbers about 13000, give or take. Schneider National operates about 14,000 power units. And the "millions" figure for small companies and owner/operators is also grossly exaggerated.

A Kenworth w900 is actually a semi tractor trailer, and although it is a good tractor, I do not believe that this is something you would want to use for simple US travel. If you are a trucker and are interested, you can view some that are for sale here: http://www.soarr.com/search/trucks/Kenworth/W900/
Is a dump truck considered a tractor trailer type vehicle?
Well, dump trucks range in size greatly. You can make a dump truck out of a one ton pickup truck, if you so wish. The US truck classification system lists a Class 8 truck as being anything over a 33,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. 33,000 lbs. is the max allowed for a two axle unit, so, basically, any tandem axle vehicle (and all tractor trailers) are going to be Class 8 trucks. However, the licence class in the USA is different. Most Class 7 and Class 8 dump trucks can be driven with a Class B CDL. However, if that dump truck is going to be towing a trailer rated at over 10,000 lbs., then the same Class A CDL required for a tractor trailer will be required to operate that combination of dump truck and trailer.
