I’m in my mid 40s, and I think I want to get my CDL and go over the road with a mega for a year, but afterwards I want to get Into LTL. I’m not worried about physical labor, but I have had a desk job my whole life. Is LTL a good idea for someone starting at my age?
Is this realistic?

Where is your location? Louisville, KY?
Do you want a trucking company cdl school or pay for private cdl school? -
I’m in Louisville, KY. I can pay for school, but I’m almost certain I want to go with a trucking company because I want the year over-the-road experience. I think that would be the best way to learn before trying to drive locally. No problem whatsoever paying my dues.
G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
OTR is good for most of us. See the country before settling in to a local routine.

Here's two good ones, if you pay for private cdl school. Both hire from private cdl schools.
