Age Descrimination

You'll fit right in. At 26 i was the youngest person in trucking school.

 

Not a problem at all. Look at my profile. I have no problems,, and in fact, many times they prefer us 'old schoolers. Ya whippersnapper!

 

No problem.

 

how old is the average trucker. I'll be going to trucking school soon only 21

 

Wild guess maybe 35 or so. There will either be just you or possibly one other person your age, most likely.

Trucking is a loner career. Nobody else matters but you and your aspirations. You will most likely never see anyone from your class again once you secure your cdl.

 

I'm definitely the youngest in my class too. We have a few late 20's, a bunch in their 30's, and several 40's+.

 

In trucking...old guys rule!!!

 

With a clean record, you will likely get every job you apply for. I did, in my late 50s. A clean record is more important than age. Most applicants do not have a clean record, so you will go to the head of the line.

 

yea im guessing i would be the youngest in my class but thats okay i work at a dealership as a mechanics apprentice everyone else i work with mostly 45 and up prefer to be around older people more responsible. most of my friends from high school now all have their drivers license now suspended or barely getting them back
