I'll be 16 on April 12th. 2009... I don't have a license or permit for driving yet, because I haven't decided to read the booklet yet. I live in Hampton, VA and I wanna get a job for the summer in the Excavator/Dozer area, I have operated many tractors and such before, and know it can be very dangerous and know how to be safe, but is there anybody out there that will hire me?
If you're eligible at the age of 16 to drive a tractor, then by all means go ahead! In Malaysia, although 15 is the allowed age to drive a bus, it's illegal on the road. Please check with the NHTSA for more details.
Good luck with that. You will be competing with people like me that have years of experience. You may want to find something in your area that does apprenticeship programs. Also, I'm kicking myself for not going into the union (Local 3) Spend a little time and money now, and make ship loads of money later.
