CDL A at age 18 in New York?

You'll be alright. I got my CDL at 18. Started with a local milk distributor and they just told me "be careful." Righto! I got shifting down on a straight truck then eased into a tractor trailer. They'd send me over to St. Louis a few times, then Moberly, then Springfield and Joplin stuff like that to keep me in state. The day after I turned 21, literally, they flipped me bills for Orlando FL. I learned about Monteagle really fast. Also literally.

 

Nope, my cdl school told me I could so I tryed and the DMV won't alow you. You can take the permit test and get that in the system now I did that.

 

Hey OP! Where you at in new York ?
Can almost gaurentee a food service company in the Bronx like nebraskaland , baldor , Westside foods would snap you up and train you If you have a decent mvr ...ny is a big state ! And don't listen to these crybabies that bish about ny being communist ...they're probably crybabies that are terrified of the northeast .lol

 

Really sucks you have to be 21. You can die for your country though at 18.

Op i was 21 when i got my cdl and my dads an owner op also. Even at 21 you only have limited options bc of insurance requirements. You might even change your mind in a few years. When i got out of high school i had no clue what i wanted to do and getting a cdl wasn't even on my mind. Yea things changed and now here i am almost 24 and i can't picture doing anything else.

 

Yea 18 you can intrastate only. Almost impossible to find a job, not cuz of the employer but their insurance policy
