I own a medium sized fleet of trucks. The way I understand it is you must be 19 years old and have a proven
driving record of so many hours or miles of safe driving. My 19 y o son drives for us full time and does a
great job. He cannot leave the state of Wi and there are days he puts 600 miles on his truck. He can drive
all around and thru the congested city of milwaukee, but cant go into the woods of upper michigan because he
cant leave the state.. I know there are several 19 yo who can do it better than some of the 80 yo who think
they can do it yet. Some can, some cant. I have hired drivers from the midwest who do not know how to get
thru chicago. Really???
I am a farm guy and have a problem with 16 yo who drive farm semis on the road. That is a bit scary if you
ask me, especially with a tanker full of liquid manure. Sorry for the rambling. Bill
