I never had to go to one of these trucking schools, so I have no clue here. My son, after repeatedly trying to talk him out of it, he still wants to drive truck like his ol man.
He is 20 years old and what I'm wondering is..... Can he get started in school before his 21st birthday? Or do these schools insurance policy's have restrictions?
Thanks for any input here I can pass on. :)

They will take students as young as is allowed to get a CDL permit and license.

Being 20 he won't be able to cross the state line though.

I got my license 2 months before I was 21. I then sat around for a month (it was a month long class) and then went truckin'. It's doable for sure.

Hey, that is fantastic! Think about it - when you guy's have dinner you will have something in common to talk about. You might meet each other on the road for a quick meal. Not many Father's have the opportunity to actually help out their son with their new career (tips, hints, etc.). Enjoy this opportunity.
