I have been seriously contemplating getting my CDL for a few years. Now that the kids are grown and my boring job has been outsourced anyway..it seems like the time might be right for taking the plunge. I have the usual doubts/questions about being 53 years old and starting on this new adventure. Also, my biggest concern at this point is trying to allay dear husband's concerns! He will be staying home...worrying...
1. Do you consider this to be a *safe* job, especially those of you who are solo drivers?
2. Are there regional jobs available for rookies? How do they pay compared to over the road jobs? I live in the Southeast.
3. Will companies be willing to hire an old broad like me?

Hello Ladies,
I have been seriously contemplating getting my CDL for a few years. Now that the kids are grown and my boring job has been outsourced anyway..it seems like the time might be right for taking the plunge. I have the usual doubts/questions about being 53 years old and starting on this new adventure. Also, my biggest concern at this point is trying to allay dear husband's concerns! He will be staying home...worrying...

Thanks for any advice, M.
