hickman, for an 18yr old, there ain't much around. Try a local farmer, they might give you a chance. Maybe get on with a Beverage company, as a helper, or merchandiser.

whats out there for an 18 year old?

College, trade schools, or military.

I am going to get a job in high school now to save up for my trucking school and CDL. What companies hire 18 year old drivers. I know you cant drive interstate as an 18 year old, but you have to get experience somehow.

Federal rules dictate you must be 21 to drive interstate, so most of the jobs you are looking at are likely for Over The Road drivers. You can drive a semi for a milk hauler, a grain truck, and others that don't go out of state.....I am assuming you can get a CDL at age 18, although I do not know that for sure. I knew a 19 year old that had his CDL.

You can also get a Class B license and drive a straight truck....including refuse trucks, which are always looking for drivers, dump trucks, cement trucks, fuel truck, and feed trucks.

Good luck.
