Welcome DD ... you are not alone bro ... I am almost 67 and I've just started myself ...

So guys, I've been offered a contingent job with Roehl! Realy like them so far. Studying for my CLP in NY. Hope to be on the road by August.

Thanks for your reply, and be blessed!

As long as you have a relatively clean criminal and driving records and can pass a DOT physical theres no reason you can't get your CDL. Thanks Rob! I have a spotless driving record and a squeaky clean criminal record, i.e., none.... I'm good to go!

As far as a good time? All depends on which company you go with. Some are light on freight, others are non stop. Thanks for the input Splitter! Appreciate it!

Welcome DD ... you are not alone bro ... I am almost 67 and I've just started myself ... talk of being crazy, that's what a lot of my friends have labelled me but no matter ... "YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MIND" my best friend said to me when I told him my plans.

Yea, I expect I'll get a lot of that! I'm thinking of going with SWIFT myself because I read they are a great company for rookie drivers... Please keep me posted with how you're doing. I'm wanting to drive in the south mostly. Sick of SNOW!!!

Thanks for your reply, and be blessed!

Hi, not been here on the forum before, but have been reading Trucking Truth for many years now. My question is, am I crazy? Always wanted to do OTR trucking, but raised a family and spent 32 years in hospital admin. Now I'm up for the adventure. Actually will be 64 in September, and I'm in pretty good health. After reading TT for a while now, I understand a lot of the pitfalls and am quite confident I'd be good at this. I'd go with company sponsored training, but at my age I want a private room... Is that possible? I know, LOL! Is now a good time with this COVID thing going on? Maybe I've been sheltered in place too long? Another LOL! So, am I crazy? ;o) Thanks for your input!!
