Probably not.

Any fleet owners? I plan on getting my cdl when I turn 21 and I think Sprinter Van expediting would be a good start.

Most major expediting company's want 23 years or older. You might be better off getting a class a and teaming in a semi.

I can get my Class A now but I can't leave the state of Oklahoma (where I live) in a commercial vehicle because of a restriction.

That will cause an issue in a sprinter/van also.

Sorry, most, if not all companies will not let anyone under 21 drive across state lines. Insurance risk too great!

Hi, Austin. Most trucking companies will not hire anyone under 21 unless the trucking company only does in-state deliveries. Even then, for insurance reasons, you may find it hard to get hired because of your age.

By the way, when you are ready to go to a truck driving school in order to get your CDL, there's a great article that shows you how to get the best CDL training near you, including what to look for when choosing a truck driving school and what you can expect to learn at most trucking schools.

Good luck!

I would join military for 4 year's than come out and be easier to get a job in anything you want to do
plus training
