A little over three years ago I switched from dry van to flatbed. That first week nearly killed me. Too sore to either lay down or get up from the bunk.
Now? I wish I had kept with trucking as a youngster, instead of going off trying to make the most of a college education...
Here's another aspect about YOUR decision, the VAST majority of insurance companies, and hence the trucking companies that might hire you, WANT mature folks behind the wheel. IMHO you are in the sweet spot for getting hired. If you have ANY interest in pursuing a second career in trucking, then you should first pray, and invoke the name of the saint @Chinatown to bless your journey.
THEN you should stop standing on the sidelines, hemming and hawing, and act on some good advice.
P.S. I'm having the time of my life. Jump on in, the water's fine!lovesthedrive Thanks this. -

Im 56 , and just started driving. , Jan 7 driving and delivering picking up engines transmissions , rear ends with pallet jacks , forklifts ect. . I never thought about age once. I aint got no choice. I count my blessings. its 60 hrs a week. i maxed out my time Friday and couldnt unload. i had a cdl from the early 90s and was driving the short bus kids for about 3 months and i never let my cdl go as a back up plan. Youth and enthusiasm can always be overcome by old age and treachery!!
