In need of a decent paying driving job that will hire me at 18

Contact all the household goods movers. They hire drivers under 21 to run within the state , intrastate. Then if you like the company, you can go OTR the day you're 21. You can start as an intrastate driver or drivers helper.

Check the yellow pages or Google for household goods movers in your area. Many of the major players such as United Van Lines and a dozen others also have agents under different names that haul for them so you can apply with them also.

Before you even consider buying a truck, join OOIDA. It's not that simple and with no experience the insurance alone will probably bankrupt you. You need probably $20K-$40K in a reserve maintenance account at all times. Check the OOIDA website.

Edit : Even if you bought a truck and haul cars where your father works, you still can't leave the state/cross the state line until you're 21. Now, working as a drivers helper with a household goods moving company, you may be able to travel nationwide with the driver as his helper, but no driving outside your home state.
