Age

Just as much as this almost 50 year old fart....go for it.....

 

Just do some research before you go to school on if you can actually get a job.

 

Better than some of the under 25's that are doing it..hell they don't even know the top of the map is always NORTH!

44...still wet behind the ears! LOL

 

I remember back to when I was 44......good times......

 

True so true...want to join a Vegas/Nana party bus in the near future?

 

My recommendation is that now is not the time to get into the trucking industry. Times are tough, freight is slow, and rates are down. Just my recommendation.

 

But fuel is less than it was last year!

I always try to find a silver lining.

 

As long as you can pass the DOT physical you should be fine. I went to SAGE for school but I would recommend going through your local university or community college, if available. It took me 2 months to find a job after graduation, and that was back in 2007. I am kind of surprised I still have that job and am happy with it as long as I get enough runs between paydays to pay the bills.
