Ironically you have to be old enough to buy beer in order to get your CDL. 21's the magic number buddy. Go to college

Please Lad!! Think about it! I sue as Heck! do not want to be sharing the Highway with a 18yr old who's idea of preparing to BE a Heavy Goods Driver is via Video or Computer Games! Anyway I thought you had to be at lest 21 yrs old TO obtain a CDL-A??( You DO in the U.K. and Europe!)

In most states if you're 18 you can get a class A to drive in state, but you need to be 21 to drive outside
