I'm a female that just turned 55.

Yes, you’ll fit right in

most mature folks who transition into trucking already have decades of driving and usually a good attitude so they make excellent truck drivers

 

No! Not insane.

 

Not insane, but you really need to do a lot of research on the discussion boards and take NO need to the information from the carriers themselves. There are two sides to the story.. the information from the companies is just #### near complete fabricated fantasy that pads literally everything.. and then there are the trucker victims who paint everything and anything that they did as innocent and and everything that the carriers do as evil.. there are little to any facts in either side.

 

Many start at retirement from other jobs and around 65 - 70 yrs. old.
You're relatively young, so get started.
Where is your location; state & nearest city/town?

 

Do you want private cdl school or trucking company cdl school?
`
Trucking company cdl schools pay for transportation to get to the school, and also meals and lodging while attending.

 

Do it! It's a lot fun. Just start at a company that pays you well.

 

Not trying to nitpick, but it’s CDL——singular.

 

Everyone that decided to be a trucker has some sort of mental issue going on hahahahahaha!!!! Not really but seriously, I've met a 70 year old that was in his first year in PA matter of fact. If you feel healthy, I say why not? It's quite the experience..... as least for me it is.....
