You're too young, BUT!!!...

Every state has a minimum age of 18 for an intrastate CDL, which means you can only drive within the state of issue. For an interstate CDL You have to be at least 21.

Most states have a farm provision, which says you can drive a truck at 16, within a certain amount of miles from the farm, something to look into.

Most insurance companies, therefore trucking companies, insist you attend a driving school, and then drive with a trainer for a certain amount of time (varies by company, but anywhere between 1 and 7 months)

Although I'm not a big fan of the company, Prime Inc (Springfield, MO) has the best training program, but you drive with a one-on-one trainer for 6+ months

This is a great opportunity for you to take time and investigate companies thoroughly. Just because a company offers you the world doesn't mean they actually intend to give it to you.
