I’m a 66 year old truck driver with a perfect class A drivers license record. Never had a chargeable commercial driving accident and no tickets in over 20 years, perfect CSA score. In the last month I’ve applied for 5 different Wal-Mart OTR regional driver jobs, most of them in the northern US. I’m happy to relocate to any location, extremely flexible. On two of the applications it has been almost 6 weeks since I applied and haven’t heard anything. When I go online it only says “application under review”. Is it possible they are over-looking me because of my age?

Overlooking you because of your age? No, they don't care how old you are. I went through onboarding with a driver who was 82 years old but he didn't make the cut that week. I didn't hear anything for over a month when I applied. That's just how it is. I called a couple of times to find out and basically got nowhere with that. Out of the blue you'll get a call or an email wanting to schedule with you a time for a call from them. That's your phone interview and do not miss that call because you basically have the job once you get that (as long as you can successfully pass onboarding). Keep in mind the current jobs market for drivers is not in the drivers' favor. They probably have 10 or more applications for every job posting. Good luck.
