18yr olds allowed to drive commercial vehicles included in infrastructure bill

[BadIdeaGuy]

I worked the sugar beet harvest in North Dakota last October. Not one driver bringing beets from the fields was underage. No doubt there are kids driving tractors out in the fields but I think it's a stretch to say 14 yr olds are hauling corn down to the co-op.

Lol.

It's not a stretch in the midwest.

Outside of the city limits...

Country boys are responsibly driving heavy machinery...

Everyday.

And...

If you don't complete said chores you shall get disciplined.

And they are well below 18.


Hope this helps.

Do these places still exist?

I've had a 15 year old pay me to ride with him as he hauled heavy machinery in a truck that he bought with his own cash, because his permit said he needed somebody with him.

He owns his own little company and some big equipment, and he pays adults to ride shotgun.

Oh well. Are you an adult at 18 or not?

Men? No.

Women? Hell yes.

No it’s not seen it a hundred times
It’s all hands on deck at harvest time for mom and pop operations

We have more job openings than we have people on unemployment

So

Looking at the proposed requirements and stipulations..... I don't have much of a problem with this.
