Until what age can someone be a trucker

Yes that's a very good question actually i know in the Aircraft transport industry i think commercial pilots have to quit once they hit 65 that's why their predicting a huge Pilot shortage in the future.With a CDL what do the rules stipulate as far as driving age goes? However if your healthy enough to pass a medical they will let you keep driving. I would love to know who'd be the oldest CDL driver right now?

 

I am over 40 and besides a titanium neck stronger than the first and a sciatic nerve problem from the years as a retired trooper getting in and out of the car a million times with a belt on and on the C.E.R.T team, but I am also in very good shape that has went downhill since I started trucking due to the hours and lack of exercise etc.

 

A hot wife or girlfriend helps too

 

That's true; should have both, not either/or.

 

both would really help though I've been married to long and with kids it cheaper to keep her and makes my 30 minute mandatory break not so bad also

 

I know several drivers with young hot wives. 20 - 30 yr. age difference. Mine is 30 yrs. younger than me and my girlfriend is even younger @ 37 yrs. younger and hot.
Keeps a person young in mind and body.

 

My boss now, has three trucks and he is in his 70s. He drives every day because he doesn't want to sit at home with the wife all day. True story.

 

Sir since you are an Ex LEO can you do INSANITY? lets say before a shower every other day, that is my plan, with the exercise program insanity you can even over eat and not gain any wait, or is time so tight that truckers don't have any time to excersice, staying thin and fit is also my plan to drive until very old age.

 

I know two guys one 80 one 81 still driving both in good shape for their age.Ones still doing ltl reefer breaking down pallets and pulling them off with a manual palletjack.

 

There are 2 guys where I work who are 75 and have no sign of slowing down
