Anyone else a late bloomer, 40 and above just getting into driving?

That’s great! Best of luck to you.

 

I was 55, so you are not that late in life.

 

I'm was older than you when I started. Older people have better discipline, dedication and ability to see the job through. When I was younger I was too wild and would not have been able to handle it.

 

Lots of drivers, some on this forum, started trucking school and new career in their 60's, 70's, 80's.

 

What type trucking interests you? We can give suggestions to consider.
You're in Knoxville, right?

 

Will you be obligated to work for your current employer after acquiring a CDL?

 

Shoot you're still in your prime years for trucking. I'm 41 but I did get started at 25. Lol. Met a guy near Erie, PA that was 70 and in his first year with Stevens Transport.
