I hate that too :/
It’s so hard to tell these days. I’ll be talking to a driver my age, thinking he may share words of wisdom. Only to find out he just started driving 2 months ago.
All drivers have something to share. But let’s face it, the bookshelves are pretty bare the first couple of years. And they all have the same books.
Too old to start..

Trucking has never done me that way, as I aged. But at 25? OMFG you would have thought I was offering to kill someone when I got out at a truckstop.
Trucking is the one industry that still respects the older employees. Let’s hope that last.Tombstone69, dwells40, Lepton1 and 1 other person Thank this. -

I’m 54 and too Young to quit. I had a friend that worked till He was 83. No one would hire Him after that age. Despite having type 2 diabetes for many years, He also kept a good diet. Always full of surprises, One day He says, “ I had the first open heart surgery performed by U of M to repair a hole in my heart when I was 27 yrs old “ .

Dang, I am 60 and I can not remember where I parked the truck. Really those are just numbers and some aged folks can and will keep up. Just get your health in line before setting off, figure out how you are going to nourish your body while out on the road because if you stick with what is called food out there you are going to be hurting.
lovesthedrive and Lepton1 Thank this. -
You will find, many companies would rather hire an oldtimer like us than a millenial. Most of us have our minds set straight about work. These millenials seem to think that if something isnt right, leave it there, some one else will deal with it. While those in my generation will see it as, can we do something about it, well that wasnt so bad, that was fun, I am glad we tried.
Diesel Dave, pmdriver and Tombstone69 Thank this.
