Prerequisites
A Class B CDL is most popular among truck drivers ages 18 to 21. This is due to the age restriction on interstate truck drivers. If you are under 21, you cannot carry cargo across state lines on the interstate. You are restricted to a Class B CDL until you turn 21. The ideal route to take if you are under 21 is to get your Class B license and start working as a commercial truck driver.
