How much is a Va Drivers License??

Its purely the young hoon/ old dog thing, insurance is unlikely to be a major factor if you are a great driver. Prove to the employer you want that you are the calmest, coolest character he will ever meet, you could be driving anything and immediately. Your $$ may not be great for a year or two, but they will lift - demand it. I know of an 18yo hauling 40 tonne of dangerous goods in an '06 Scania B-Train, jacking the trailers into tight yards, and never getting phone complaints, that kid will earn good $$ as a driver, or become an owner operator pronto. But hes on squat now.

If you take a defensive driving school class, is it good for how long?

you probably wont find any as its for insurance purposes, you have to be over 21 to be able to go on a company insurance policy for a van, anything over that (hgv etc etc) you will need to be over 25 yes, pain in the bum lol, hope this has helped you out.

i have just passed my driving theory test, any advice on passing my driving test?

I'm afraid that most employers won't take you on until your are 25+ due to insurance prices on under 25's. I'm not sure where they now stand with the new legislation on age though (an employer shouldn't actually ask your for your date of birth anymore as it may be construed as an intention to discriminate on the grounds of age). So that may be worth looking into.
Good luck and hope you get sorted soon x

my drivers license is revoked because of multilple dui's. what states will give me a "work license" if I reloc

The issue is probably to do with insurance. If you can't get a job driving you could just get a job to keep you going and see if you can do any volunteer work (delivering stuff for charities) that involves driving this sort of vehicle in order to gain experience. The Armed Forces also have drivers so that is another avenue to explore.

Do all automobile insurance companies raise your premiums when you reach 60 years of age?

Its the same here in NZ our transport industry is desperately short of drivers. Unfortunately Insurance is a major concern for companies everywhere and some of them just cant afford the premiums that are charged for under 25's.

how do you find out who a tag number belongs to?

if there are any local or family firms near you they may employ you before your 25, otherwise you have a long wait the best thing to do would be to go and face the proposed employer instead of going through job ads good luck (there are a few under 25 truckers in this area but all working for family based firms such as so and so and son , you know wat i mean)
