One of the great facts of CDL driving is that it is 100% performance based. No age, sex, or race discrimination. And once you're rolling down the road with a load on there's no office politics, either. I drove 4 years in my 40's, and now 3 years late 60's until now, 71. I am perfectly able to do the things I need to do to safely and effectively pick up and deliver my cargo, run my truck, and take care of myself. No meds, good diet and exercise, and lots of good, hard work keep me healthy. Happy? When my shippers and consignees get me out in less than an hour!
How many started truck driving at the age of 50+?

Well my life story would require popcorn... with butter
, but actually I've been retired from the Army for a long while; have always wanted to drive a rig; got my CDL in 2011; started driving one day; found out I had a brain tumor; spent the next 2 years depressed and dealing with PTSD and the itch of driving is still poking me, so yeah... I'm thinking about it again. I thought I may be a little too old to get into it, but have read a lot of really good responses!
