that your probably going to start with is north American moving services

but you have to be 21 to drive on state lines chubs out

However, most insurance agencies providing insurance to trucking companies will not insure anyone under 23.

Answer 2

For any job driving a company vehicle, regardless of what type and classification, you typically won't even be considered if you're under 18.

You can get a CDL at the age of 18, but it will come with an "intrastate only" restriction, meaning you could only operate a commercial vehicle within the state which issued your licence. Finding employment as a CMV operator at 18 is also highly unlikely.

To drive as an interstate truck driver (or to be eligible for a hazmat endorsement) you must be at least 21.
