To legally drive combination vehicles (such as 18-wheelers and semi-trucks), you must complete the licensing process and obtain a Class A CDL (Commercial Driver’s License). The minimum age to apply is 18, although you won’t be able to drive across state lines, carry passengers, or transport hazardous materials until you turn 21. Your career as a commercial driver begins with a visit to the DMV location, where you will submit identification documents, pay the licensing fees, and take your theory exams. You must also pass a vision screening and a medical examination.
