im 20 years old in washinton and wondering how to go about getting my cdl? any one got some tips or suggestions?is there an age restriction?

thanks!

I believe the Min. age for interstate is 21 with most carriers insurance co. wanting you to be 23+. Best to check with some of the scools in your area, they'll know the min. and if you can get hired.
BTW welcome aboard.

Yep pretty sure 21 is the youngest, but take this opportunity to study up on the Industry before jumping in.

You should be able to get a CDL as long as you are at least 18 years old. You will only be able to drive intrastate (within your state) until you reach 21 years old. Although you can get your CDL at your age, finding a job will be the problem. Some carrier's will hire drivers who are 21, but most will not hire drivers who are not at least 23 years old, due to insurance purposes. Most companies require drivers to have attended a certified driving school. The least expensive way will be to go through a local community college or state vocational school for your training. There are also private schools, but the cost is usually considerably higher than going to a state school. You can also go to work for one of the major training carriers. Some have their own driver training school, but you will need to commit to working for the company for a minimum of 1 year with most, or you will need to repay the carrier for the cost of your training should you leave prior to the end of your commitment. You won' t be able to get your license without having access to a truck and trailer. Unless you know someone who will allow you to practice and take your driving test on their truck, you will need to go to driving school or apply to one of the training carriers.
