Am I to old starting a trucking career

Do you still have Hazmat endorsement?
Which type trucking are you interested in?
Do you want to run the roads, coast to coast?
Lots to choose from in Philly or that hire Philly drivers.

 

I know of a couple of companies that will probably hire you right now and put you through their own refresher:
~
Dutch Maid Logistics | Now Hiring Drivers
Dutch Maid Logistics | Now Hiring Drivers
New York City Bonus – Drivers are paid $100.00 extra for going into NYC.
~
Nationwide Motor Freight Company | Abilene Motor Express
Nationwide Motor Freight Company | Abilene Motor Express

 

Two more good options for Philly drivers. You can ask what is required for you to be hired.
I've seen both companies trucks running through Las Vegas, entering California or leaving California.

USA Truck has a good program. After driving there for 6 mos. you can choose your loads and run where you want to.

I think it does for some companies (depending on their insurance). Some won't cover after 72 I think. 56-72 Still a long time though so OP can still enjoy this career for more than a million miles! haha

 

Just curious why you're leaving the real estate industry? I would think you would be making enough to retire in the current housing market.

 

55 1/2 when I started ... that was 12 years ago. Own my trailer, truck will be paid off next month.

Will drive full time until around the 1st qtr 2023. I'll be 69 at that point. Then decide whether to sell or drive a few more years part time. Even if I sell, I'll probably try hot shot for a few years or may pull RVs.

 

Hot shotting porta potties is where it’s at.

 

I prefer to stay out of Washington DC ...
