I know in all states minus Hawaii, you can get a CDL when you're 18, but you cannot travel to another state until you're 21. However, seeing how most commercial driving jobs even if it doesn't require a CDL still require you to be 21 or older, is there any point in getting a CDL?
Is it stupid to get a CDL at age 18, 19, or 20?

Get the cdl anyway. As soon as you're 21, you can hit the road.

Try your local mom and pop brick and lumber yards. Try your moving companies. Try your entertainment companies that set up stages for concerts, rasslin’ matches…etc. You may be able to get your foot in the door.
