    Under 21 you’ll be limited to intrastate

    The only age restriction on a cdl is about crossing state lines & they’re talking about doing away with that. There is nothing that will restrict the amount of weight you can haul, except your equipment.

    I think it's mean of the company that they make you have a CDL. That's not fair.
