there is a gentleman that is now retiring from flatbedding and he is over 75.I think he's just going to take life easy pulling a dry van. Throwing the straps has become a chore although there is no shortage of drivers that step up to give him a hand. He started at 65 and I have seen him often at Ankeny, Moline etc. Little slower than he use to be but a joy to be around.

I got my CDL at age 58 after the steel mill I worked at for 30 years closed. I now haul food to and from grocery whareouses. Not the most glorious of truck driving jobs but I'm home everynight. Several of my co-workers are 70 years old and older, some have had their CDL for a lifetime, others for just a few years.

well I passed the cdl written learners permit test yesterday. since my son is going to train me ( I have to laugh here since I taught him how to drive a car years ago ) I am getting very excited. I have everything packed and ready to get on the truck with him just as soon as he gets routed my way to pick me up. so beware!!! newbie going on the road soon.LOL I just keep telling myself "just keep the thing between the lines shiny side up and you will be ok." and dont drive your son crazy. I am so excited to be starting this new adventure in my life and doing it with my own son is even better.
