How many started truck driving at the age of 50+?

You lose $30,000 + dollars out of your IRA, during the 2008 crash. There goes fishing. I only plow through crowds at Burning man concerts. The glow sticks confuse me.

 

I went to Truck Driving School when I was 50.

 

I started at 49. OTR for 2 years. It was ok to see the country, but winter driving was just too much to deal with. Gained 30 lbs. I now work locally driving milk tankers. Awesome job, but you need exp to move up.

 

I started when I turned 50.....went to roadmaster..got a job..been 3 yrs otr now....

 

My respects to you sir!

 

Probably in school now? Haven't visited my tread in a couple months, but hope all is going well for you. Good luck to you.

 

Not at all... 5 more months and I'm there!!

 

Bobby started at 52. And i must say it's the easiest job i have ever had in my life. Got my CDL while i was still working, did night school. While i was working i did my homework, applied to many outfits only to learn that 90% of them are interchangeable. After about 6 mouths i was offered a job with a local outfit and did 2 months of training, they gave me my own truck for Regional driver. I got to work Monday throu Friday and home weekends an average between 600 and 700 take home every week. For 6 months i did what they told me to do and one day they came to me an offered me a drop and hook job that i would be home everyday and weekends. I would average 3000 miles a week every week and i would bring home about 900 every week. I make 52 K a year to sit in a truck for 11 hours a night and scare the living sheet out of 4 wheelers who cut me off. God bless America.

 

Awesome! I hope I love it as much ~although it's taking me forever to get off my ### and DO IT!~

 

I started when I was 57 so I am sure there are many of us out here
