I appreciate this post as my recent high school grad is looking into trade schools and getting his CDL. One school I called, though, said that she can’t job-place under 21 year olds, apparently there is a law that an under 21 year old cannot drive a truck across state lines. So I did a quick job search and didn’t see any driving jobs for under 21 (including UPS, Amazon, driving companies, etc). Many are 23 or 25. Just wanted to post that in case anyone else is thinking about this. Not that I think an 18 year old should necessarily be behind the wheel of a semi, but it doesn’t look like truck driving is something that one can go to right from high school.
