No, you cannot. You cannot obtain a CDL (or state equivalent for vehicles of that class which are exempt from CDL requirements, such as registered farm vehicles) until you turn 18. Even then, it's very restrictive - you'd only be permitted to operate a commercial vehicle within the boundaries of your home state. To be able to transport interstate commerce, and/or obtain a hazardous materials endorsement, you must be 21. On top of that, most companies require prospective employees to be at least 23 years of age.

In the United States, the minimum age requirement to drive an 18-wheeler or commercial vehicle is 21 years old. This is because operating large trucks requires a commercial driver's license (CDL), which has an age restriction set by federal regulations.
