CDLs are federally regulated - minimum ages are not state specific. In any state or territory of the US, you must be 18 to get a CDL. However, between the ages of 18 and 20, any CDL issued will come with an "intrastate only" restriction, which permits you to operate a commercial vehicle only within the state issuing your licence. To be able to operate a CMV across state lines, and/or to get a hazmat endorsement, TWIC card, etc., you must be 21.

You can obtain a CDL at the age of 18. However, you would be restricted to operating a commercial vehicle only within the boundaries of your home state (the state of issue), and you could not obtain an endorsement to haul hazardous materials. You must be 21 to do interstate transport in a CMV, and to obtain your hazmat endorsement

You can get one at 18. However, until you turn 21, you would not be able to operate a commercial vehicle outside of your home state or get a HAZMAT endorsement.
