    In our local paper they have the court docket. Recently it listed & 80 year old man having gotten a speeding ticket driving a log truck. Wonder how many 80 year old's are out there driving trucks?

    We have an 81-year-old and at least one other in late 70's, both of whom drive tractor-trailer every day, home every day, some night runs. That's out of a yard with 20 tractors. You're protected from age discrimination to age 70.

    So as long as you can pass the physical and do the job...
