    I thought that if you were under 21 you could not do interstate, but only intrastate?

    Correct. For your question about companies hiring under 21 years of age, I have not found any. Most are 21 years old, some are 22, and a few are 23 I've seen. I don't see why age matters. I can understand experience, but not age. I'm not sure if other states (other than NY and PA) allow people under the age of 21 to cross state lines. I have a feeling that is a big, and fat no.

    Will local farms or livestock hauling hire under 21?

    That is a good question. I am uncertain. It probably depends on the owner/farmer. They may be more apt to do so if they know you, or your family, personally. Again, I am uncertain, but that is my best bet.
