    Hey everybody, my names Jonathan but most just call me Jon. I'm new, so forgive me if I make any errors. This is my question. I really want to get into t/t driving, but what hinders me at the moment is the fact that I'm just 19 (turning 20 on the 22nd this month). So I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions as to if there are any jobs that I could have, pertaining to the trucking area, that you think I could do for a year before I can go get my licensing. Any help is truly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    Where do you live? Try big farmers if live in an agricultural area.

    Harvest is coming up. Try to find a farmer who will let you haul from the field to the bins.
