I believe you have to be 21 to do any out of state hauling. Most places insurance won't let them hire you till your 23 I think. But I went to transport tech TMC was supposed to pay for it if I stuck with them for a year but my appendix popped and I was off for 6 weeks and they took me off payroll so I never got my full year in. Then I worked for a local company for almost 7 years. Ended up paying 5k for schooling.

Bought an 89 Pete when I turned 21 and went and took the test. Went through all the paperwork and crap to get my own motor carrier authority and everything else. Drove for myself till I was sick of it and sold the truck. I drive local now and love it. Good money and Im never gone more than 11 hours at a time
