Mule,
I assume you are Canadian. Do you, or anyone, know if anything like this is in writing in the USA? I am over 65 and very much want to get into trucking. I have my CDL permit here in Colorado and plan on attending truck driving school in March. Does anyone know what my chances are of getting hired? I am physically fit, no drugs, no accidents or tickets, no questionable prescriptions, passed my DOT for getting the permit and entrance into trucking school. I just don't want to be wasting my money if I can't get hired because of my age.
Any info would be appreciated.

OK, are you talking being generally employed beyond 65, without getting the boot? ( any work, not just driving? )
or are you talking your class "A". where 65 year olds have to re test every year? -
Roadfreedom Thanks this.

Pffft it is a good law, in your late sixties you rapidly become a better driver in your head than in real life. And by staying around you clog up job opportunities for young people.
