Challenges for a 21 year old

I was in the industry since i was Kindengarten. So basically i was in an internship for trucking my whole life. When i turned 21 i was in school. Drove for a year and purchased my first truck from a dealer. Im 22 now going on 23

 

Basically what I speak of is the state DMV actually doing the testing, not an employer who has "someone" certified to do so. As of at least today, I am not aware of an employer doing any CDL testing. This may have been true back in your day? I think (as an example) When someone went to the Swift driving school (which was subsequently shut down), they Swift, had a DMV employee on site to do the testing. But then if IRCC, Swift was paying off that guy to pass people? This is what led to many CDL's being recalled, revoked, and the Swift school shut down.

If my memory is cloudy on this, someone please say so that it can be said correctly over what I have just said?

Thanks

 

Each trucking company has their own policy concerning that. Call the companies that hire 21 yr. old drivers and ask. This way you know which companies to apply with. Start with the list I posted to you.

 

Hell nah, I started at 21 the 3rd week of being 21 I had a cdl and I was in a truck by a small company banging out miles...

here is what I suggest you do. I wish I did it from the start too..

Work work run hard while you're learning the game and have the energy to push. 14 hours fly. And save save save save to Buy a truck not lease or rent but buy.

 

Here's another company that hires at 21 yrs. old. & hires new CDL grads.

Safer Transportation, Inc. in Tarzania, CA
