for Texas its 18 but only for intrastate driving, 21 for interstate driving, intrastate meaning inside the state only interstate meaning from state to state.
Most States require you be 21 years old (18 years old if ALL of your driving is within your current state and you do not transport hazardous materials or drive double or triple trailer rigs).
I believe 5 years later you can apply for a CDL.
You can get a CDL, but nobody will hire you.
18
You go to school and get your CDL. That is all.
Generally speaking, any employer who hires for a driving job is going to require the employee be at least 18 years old. For trucks requiring a CDL, you can obtain a CDL at 18, but most companies want CDL drivers who are at least 21.
You can get a CDL at 18 in any state. However, if you want to operate a CMV interstate or get a hazmat endorsement, you must be 21.

Eighteen and possess a CDL, Class A license
Once you become established as a TN resident, you bring your old (IL) CDL, a current DOT medical card (or long form), proof of residence (such as a utility bill), and money for the fees to the DMV.
Are you talking about for a CDL driver, or no? For a CDL driver operating a CMV, you must be at least 18 to drive intrastate, and at least 21 to drive interstate.
In order to get a CDL driving job you will have to have a CDL license. You can search for CDL jobs at http://www.cdljobs.com/ and http://www.cdljobshelp.com/
You must be at least eighteen years old to qualify for a CDL examination and be a licensed commercial driver. So if you're brother is a few days short of eighteen years in age, he will not be allowed to take the CDL exam.
You can get good cdl training at any cdl school. A website called greatcdltraining . com is where you can find more information about the cdl training .
