May Trucking will offer you a nearby terminal...in Pensacola.

Note also that their nickname is "No-Pay May".

FYI: Swift Transportation has a terminal over next to Mobile....in Irvington, AL:

Swift Transportation Mobile, AL Terminal

That terminal offers the following freight types:

• dedicated
• dry van
• reefer

Employment with a carrier that has a nearby terminal will also offer you some significant advantages (like fenced-in, secure parking for both your assigned tractor & also your personal vehicle).

BTW: Do you have (or do you know of) any available parking space nearby to your residence -- to safely & legally leave a truck & trailer combo for your home time?

I haven't seen this asked, why are you interested in starting at age 56? What do you do now? What is your family situation? Does sleeping away from home bother you?

Many people start driving not realizing that it's a lifestyle, not just a job.

 

Bean Jr (above) is right.

I also started commercial driving at age 56.

It's not just a job -- it's also a totally different lifestyle....with lots & lots of hours involved.

Unless you have an incredible work ethic -- think twice.
