@audeygdad I think @MACK E-6 was referring to this link.
I started back after a 30 year hiatus and am loving it. You're not too old man.G13Tomcat, TripleSix, audeygdad and 1 other person Thank this. -
Not too old at all. I drove for McElroy and knew a guy there that was 70. Tall and thin fella but he worked his nuts off. I always ran into him and always asked if he needed help but that guy could tarp faster than I could lol. It's hard work for sure but I'd say you'll be fine. Keeps you in good condition to boot. They're a good outfit.
G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
And you deserve to be. I did Transport America, USX, and FedEx/Linehaul. Cut my teeth the hard way, too.
Found this current gig on a SIGN .. side of the road. Almost 8 years later, yeah~!
I feel ya, though.. You deserve to be picky..and/or get lucky.
Best wishes, for sure!

One of our drivers just celebated his 72nd birthday yesterday. He doesn't look a day over 70.

And still at it?
God bless him.G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
My wife's uncle retired at 79.... her aunt kinda "made /coerced" him, bought him a membership, a golf cart, and a gift certificate for custom Pal Joey clubs. (that's my wife's family, too..). What more does a guy need, LoL?!? We've got some really nice links here in Ohio. Wife says it's a wimpy sport but...what does SHE know?!?

He drove for Decker out of Willard, Ohio for 30 years; was a Lexington cop before that, and owned his own Texaco station somewhere in between. Hauled MTD mowers and parts, happily. Still alive and kicking (on the links these days, LoL..)MACK E-6, audeygdad, DDlighttruck and 1 other person Thank this. -
79 years old until retirement. Wow. Good for him. May the wind always be at his back, and the greens freshly mowed for him.G13Tomcat Thanks this.
