Your son can get a CDL License in Minnesota at 16, however, he can only drive a commercial vehicle within the state of Minnesota, until he reaches the age of 21 years of age,as federal regulations require that interstate drivers be at least 21. Drivers must be at least 16 years old to get a regular CDL license in the state of Minnesota. CDL drivers must be at least 21 years old for a hazardous materials endorsement. The minimum age for school bus drivers in Minnesota is 18.
The requirements pertaining to all classes of CDL (A, B, and C) are established by federal guidelines. However, the licences themselves are state issued.
A CDL permit is needed to drive a big rig truck. Each state has different requirements for a CDL license, and a CDL license has more requirements than a standard drivers license. There are limits on driving time each day, and alcohol cannot be transported with a CDL. It depends on what you are transporting. There are different types of permits such as overweight, oversize, and superloads.
A commercial drivers license or CDL is required to drive semi trucks, tractor trailers, and eighteen-wheelers. Most companies will require a minimum amount of experience or graduation from a truck driving school. Each state has slightly different requirements for their CDL so make sure you check your own state's requirements.

Each state is going to have different CDL requirements. I would recommend checking with your local Department of Motor Vehicles for your state requirements.
You can get a CDL. The difficult part will be finding employment.
No
Commercial driver's license can be obtained from the Department of Transportation. All you have to do is appear in their office personally and pass the physical exam, drug test, and the CDL test.
Before you can become a class c driver, you must have your cdl license. The cdl license is given to you by the state you live in.
The CDL is federally administered. If you get a ticket while operating your personal vehicle in another state, it will still show on your MVR for your home state.
You can't even do that with a non-CDL licence, let alone with a federally regulated CDL. And, just my $.02 worth, if your driving habits caused you to get your licence suspended, it's probably for the best that you don't get a CDL.
Registered farm vehicles are exempt from CDL requirements. However, the state gains jurisdiction over licencing requirements at that point. So, as long as you're operating a registered farm vehicle within the limitations of its allowed use, you don't need a CDL, but you'll probably still have to upgrade your licence to some sort of enhanced non-CDL licence.
