Until what age can someone be a trucker

I have seen some guys driving looked older than dirt to me. I think if you can pass your company physical test you can do it.

 

I'm not aware of any age limit restrictions imposed by any Federal safety agency, however who knows what individual states may impose at the driver's license level.

 

Oldest guy I have met was 70 and he has plans to drive another 70 he says.

Cowboy boots 2 gallon jug of coffee and a pack of smokes i kid you not.

 

We had a cat up in the oil field luggin a water bottle that said he was 81...didn't look a day over 91 either.

 

Not sure where "the average trucker is 55" comes from, but I'm not buying it. I suspect any sort of averaging method will be much lower than that.

 

Yep, met a few in their 70s. As long as you keep your health, they'll keep doling out a 1 year med card.

And a quick note; every driver over the age of 70 is rail thin. No fatties allowed.

 

Guys in there 80's are out driving the big rigs putting the younger generation to shame.Ive seen older folks and they look much younger then they are.I even asked for proof and they showed me their licence.So in other words give this profession a try and watch how fast it takes yrs off your age.

 

Eat right and brisk walk every day and you should be good for another 30 or 40 years.

 

The only age limits I know of is 18 for intrastate and 21 for interstate, other than this its health.

 

They give you their phone number?
