Answer:
I've met quite a few young drivers over the years, many were very mature and had good head on their shoulders.
As with many professions, starting out can be financially bleak. (Ask a Physics Major, even one with a Masters Degree).
Many younger drivers have done rather well for themselves in trucking. Saving their money, thowing everything in the bank. There are those that paid cash for their home.
The successful one's you don't hear gripping on the CB network or the Internet. It's the one's that are constantly struggling with trucking day in and day out that are doing all the moaning and groaning.
Success in this business is an achievable goal, you will not become wealthy, but manage your finances, work steady as well as smart and you'll reap the rewards of success.

Answer:
I was 19 when I got my Class One. (Professional Drivers License). That is the youngest you can be in BC and Ontario. On the prairies, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, you can get you Class One at the age of 18.
The only thing is that for a person that young to drive in the USA, they need another Professional Driver with them that is over the age of 21. And that person needs to be in the jumpseat. Awake even. And they need to log it too.
BUMP!
