There are a number of qualifications needed to become a truck driver. Firstly you must have a drivers license issued by the state in which you live and a clean driving record. You must also pass a written test on rules and regulations and then prove that you can drive a commercial truck safely. You have to be 21 and pass a physical exam every two years. Finally you can't have any felony convictions.
