I dont know Joe but here in Ohio you cant be having a CDL at your age, if I remember correct its either 18 or 21 you have to be before you can get them..Not sure of Ca law though. I highly doubt though if that truck looks as nice as the one in the above picture he didn't just give it to you.

Anyways being Owner/Op you to remember all costs are on you IE- Fuel, Maintenance.

But the gross registered weight is over what a Class B allows.

Better not come to WV driving that with a class B.
If you do, they have a room with your name on it over at the Crossbar Hotel.

18 for a CDL valid in California only, no interstate driving, no doubles or triples and no hazmat loads.
21 for a CDL valid in all 48 states.

Class A with an air brake endorsement is your minimum requirement.
