    Commercial drivers are plentiful enough.

    Drivers that are truly professional-grade....not so much.

    I was taught you go slow thousands of times, you only go too fast once, my grandpa who is a lifelong driver taught me that and I go by it all the time.

    Since you’re already in the Ag world I’d stay there. Get your hazmat and take advantage of the log book exemptions in the spring and fall to bank some serious money.

    I can see by some of the posts that the '23 with 2 years experience' insurance model is changing though it still applies at a lot of insurance carriers. Possibly those hiring at 21 are self insured to get around that insurance requirement. so your choices may still be limited. A few more years with the current clean record and you will be golden and very desirable to most carriers, Haz Mat included.
