16 years old and intrested in trucking industry

Maybe your trying to grow up too fast! Chase girls and enjoy your youth! You have your whole adult life ahead of you to drag the ball and chain, so don't miss out on these precious years!

 

Bud. Ill put it to you straight. you need to get a lot of car driving experience till your about 20 or 21 before adventuring into trucking. Yes you do need to do a lot and i mean a lot of research about the industry.
Honestly a youngster like you doesnt need to be behind the wheel of a semi weighing up to 80000lbs even at 18yrs old. just not enough experience to truly understand turning backing and other maneuvers.

Just remember tho as you learn how to drive a car or 2wheeler as we truckers call em, please dont cut a semi off, put your cell phone in the glove box and leave it there till you get to a destination, pay attention to your surroundings, and so much more information that is vital to becoming a safe driver with the proper mindset about the rules of the road and how to properly understand that having a license is not a right but a privilege.

 

Normally ur local comunity college has courses in freight brokering

 

Yup.

That's what Life is all about... making bank.

Do that and you'll be happy into your wee years.

 

Right.

You want to hit it big early, so then you can simply coast the rest of the way.

Good luck at that.

You can start young if you like. You just have to accelerate your maturation quite a bit.
