I was a P&D driver for just over 10 years at a large package delivery company. I loved my job for the most part, wintertime can be a challenge. My contractor went out of business and I'm looking to switch careers and obtain my CDL. We have a diesel driving school 10 minutes down the street. There seems to be many CDL opportunities in my area. The next CDL class starts in several weeks. Should I go for it? Thanks.
37 years old, too late in life to get Class A CDL?

I got mine at 25, but it really don't matter what age. In PA, I came across a driver that was 70 and in his rookie year. So you're a young un lol

It's kind of important.
Also, look to see if there are any state sponsored classes that you can do for free.
If you'll let us know (roughly) where you live, we might be able to help you more.
@Chinatown is going to be your hook up.
Good luck -

OMG, YES, you are way too old, in fact, social security is knocking on your door, as well as the nursing homes, that WANT that SS monthly check..!!!!!
born&raisedintheusa, bryan21384, titsafun and 1 other person Thank this. -
I started at age 56.
Latest gig: hauling fuel (hazmat tanker).
The REAL question here is: are you OLD ENOUGH (between the ears)?
You need lots of maturity, & good judgement...to be a real winner in the big-rig world.
