I was reading a discussion on another forum where one member said the min age for a class A is 18 and the other said 21. Just wondering, which is it? I told them I'd get them an answer here, and PM it to them to end the argument. Thanks.

 

In most states you can obtain a CDL at 18, but it is only valid for intra-state driving of a commercial motor vehicle. There are some states where the age requirements are higher.

You must be at least 21 in order to do interstate driving of a CMV.

 

Thank you for the reply. That is what I figured, but didn't want to get into the arguement and be wrong.

 

Now you can have the argument and be right. :wink:

 

Uturn do you know what states are 21 to get your cdl. In PA i know its 18 i thought they where all 18.

 

Well, I broke the info to this one guy and he just wants to argue, so I sent him here to see for himself. Told him that there are class A drivers here with more than 1 million miles. He replied with something that hardly sounds possible:

"I HAVE A MILLION PLUS ANOTHER MILLION MILES OF DRIVING ALREADY IM ONLY 22...ALL OCCURED WITHIN THE PAST YEAR IM A SUPERMAN TRUCKER"

Is it possible to get 1,000,000 miles in a year? I think he's full of :dung: . So, I told him to come here again, as there are drivers here that have been driving longer than both of us combined have been alive.

 

I just did some math, and it is impossible. You'd have to drive 40 hours a day 7 days a week, non-stop at 70 MPH to make 1,000,000 miles in a year. Only problem is there's only 24 hours in a day.

 

Maybe he means he has 2 MILLION MILES on the 18 wheeler video game :lol:

 

On average it takes a truck driver around 8 years to drive their first million miles.

Yes your "friend" is totally full of it.
