New to the forums - Class A at 18?

I got mine at 19, while working at a farm equipment dealer. The driver they had was retiring, and I was asked to be the replacement. The retiree taught me what I needed to pass the test, and the rest was a baptism by fire. At 20, I pulled my first oversize load, and eventually had a reputation of hauling the loads no one wanted. Even for our competitors.

After ten fun years, I left that job for an OTR job, did that for two years, and have been local ever since.

I was lucky I guess, nowadays I think the way I went about it, couldn't be done nearly as easily

 

Check with the household goods movers about running intrastate or as a drivers helper.

 

You can get your Class A at 18, but you're restricted to running intrastate.
