Hi Im 20 i just got my cdl class a, im restrict to leave state until 21, Ill turn 21 in februaryof 08, i have a pre approved letter from werner and theres where im going to when i get 21 but until that hapens i still have 5 months to go, do you think anyone would hire a 20 year old for local ? you had to see the poeple at school, the youngest guy to go to school there and get cdl class a haha. :lol:

 

dumptrucks

 

It would have been better to have waited until you were 21 to go to school. You may run across companies saying too much time has elapsed from when you finished school. Most companies will allow no more that 3 months, some up to 6-12 months. Hopefully you asked Werner that.

As far as local intrastate, Mass is a small state and I imagine a lot of the loads go into surrounding states. But try dump trucks, garbage companies and maybe Coke or Pepsi. Good luck to you.

 

Those would be your best bet. You could also try places like lumber yards, fruit or meat companies.

 

yeah werner said ok i have pre approved letter, and im in georgia not mass.

 

well i got my cdl back in dec. 2005, and i didnt turn 21 until april of 06... so i have to waited also..

But i grautated from school in feb 06.... then i found a company that would let me work in the yard horse for 3 months until i was old enough to drive... it was a local LTL company..

It worked out well for me.

 

I got my cdl at 18, worked for a building materials company early morrning hours. I didn't have a hard time finding a job, just dont expect to be driving a brand new truck. Also look for small outfits, no big company will hire you until you are at least 21.
