What part of Florida?

 

Right, is your domicile address South of Interstate 4 or North of Interstate 4?
Many companies don't hire if your address is somewhere South of Interstate 4.

 

On your mark, get set,,GO! Hey, Chinatown is asking before posting 30 prospective jobs, just kidding.
1st, welcome aboard, and thanks for your service. 2nd, I would be appalled if a formerly convicted felon would get a job before you did. "Disabled" can mean many things, and you must be more specific to get any advice. It's entirely possible to be partially disabled physically, and still drive a truck, but many times, physical work is needed at some point. Also, sitting for long periods of time takes its toll as well. OTR is more conducive than say local P&D( pickup and delivery) where you may have 30 pickups and stops, all requiring some sort of activity. OTR, you just sit there, or so it seems. Good luck.

Im assuming you meant you have limitations in one of your hands. If you meant you have a “one hand limitation” I’m pretty sure youre required to have all of your extremities.

I had a dot approved doctor hold each of my ankles for a few seconds once. I was baffled as to why she would do this. Then I realized she was checking to see if my legs were real.

There is no age restriction on getting a CDL. There are medical restrictions.

Plenty of older drivers than 56.
