Too old at 49?

You're in your prime for driving. Rock and roll.

 

Agreed. Who do they think they are telling you that you are too old? If that's what you want to do, DO IT! You can show them a thing or two about being "too old"

 

Just a baby....now go drive that truck....

 

Too old? Really? Was running flatbed throwing tarps up until a few months ago. Switched back to a van for other reasons. Let them naysay

 

I came back at 58
now then again there are jobs I don't want to do in trucking

 

As long as you choose a mode that is little or no labor, you will be fine. Possibly for another 20 years or so.

 

I started at 46.... 57 now...

 

I didn't start until I was 45 after 20 years in the same career than got downsized. Happier now than I ever was behind an office door dealing with moron employees that thought the company owed them something just because the sun came up and they got out of bed. You're good to go. If I'd ever listened to anyone across the span of my life that told me I couldn't do this thing or that thing I wouldn't be in the position I am now in that I do this because I enjoy it and want to, not because I have to. Go for it. It surely isn't for everyone or even most, but if you're one of the ones that it clicks for the good days far outweigh the bad.

 

Recently, when my husband told his mom that he was going to trucking school to be a trucker, she told him that satan was trying to destroy his life!

He's 52
