They don't want you to know this.

Alot of the trucking companies prefer the 40+ age group !!!

I have no idea why.............

Ummmm, it's a secret reason and I'm just telling you in private here (Don't nobody else look now).

It's cause we're cuter, smarter and with the Ben Gay we smell a whole lot better.

Remember.... secret.

How old does a new driver have to be where he's going to have problems getting a job driving due to age discrimination? I'm 41 and thinking of doing something else for another year or two and then starting a driving career, preferably beginning with a company-sponsored training program to get my CDL.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

41 is way too old.Noone will hire you not even a school,lol.You are SO NOT OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.I've seen drivers in their 70s start this carreer.As long as you're in great health companies will hire you.
