How old do I have to be to get my
CDL?
In Virginia, you have to be at least 18 years old to obtain your CDL.
But remember, that is just to drive within the state of Virginia. If
you want to drive in between many different states, you need to be at
least 21 years old.
When
I go to apply for my instruction permit, what all do I have to bring?
You will need to bring:
-At least two forms of identification
-Proof of legal presence in the country
-Proof of Virginian residency
-Social security card
Remember that you will need to bring the real deals. They will not
accept photocopies or any documents that they feel is forged or altered
in any way.

What
is the pay for truckers?
Well, every state and every company is different. Some have better
compensation than others. But on average, a new truck driver can make
about $35,000. Remember, that is just the average--not guaranteed. But
you can expect to have pay increases as your experience and miles
increase--at least you should with a good company.
I
keep hearing people say that now is the best time to get into the
trucking industry. Why?
As you probably know, the majority of goods purchased have been
transported by truck. The need for truckers continues to increase, but
there just aren't enough truckers to fulfill the need. Because of this,
many companies are offering fantastic compensation and benefits for new
drivers.
