Profile For Ride Slow

I just turned 61 years old. Am I too old to start a new career? I have zero experience but after studying different trucking schools I would like to begin with Prime. One year after training would be a short time to pay back your loan. I have read a lot about Prime and I like the idea of the extended training.

Any follow-up from this gentleman?

Thinking about driving OTR. Early 60's, physically fit, had a bus license, (Class B) before CDL's came into being, but only so I got a free ski lift pass for driving the ski bus. Been on the road in some form or another most of my life, but always cars or smaller straight trucks. Have some $$$ coming in, but need more to get to the total retirement picture.

Opinions about starting a new career, that realistically I may only be able to perform for 7 or 8 years are welcome.

Are drivers staying on the road past 70 years old?

I am a bit of a loner, I have ridden my HD cross country, and driven same, usually by myself.

I joke that I can get my 30 years in with my current employer by the time I'm 84. :)

Driving is a state of mind. Peruse this site and you'll see that you are not as old as you think. .

Appreciate that, the grandkids refer to me as the 'Big Toy'
