Starting a trucking career at 63... and during this pandemic...
Hi All,
I am so glad that I found this topic. In 2017, I retired from teaching middle school after 32 years! During most of my career I also taught driver education. The last 7 years I have also driven motor coaches up and down the eastern seaboard, mostly ball teams and school groups. In NC due to Covid 19 there is little to no driver education or motor coach business. That has got me to thinking about trucking. I love driving and have always had a desire to drive the "big rigs" even while I was teaching. I have been researching trucking companies for the last two months but in the back of my mine I thought that I was too old. Reading the posts in, "Starting A Trucking Career At 63... And During This Pandemic..." has given me the hope that maybe I am not too old after all. I was considering flat beds but after reading Brett's post, it sounds like I should look at dry vans.
I want to think everyone for the posts! I have learned so much while I am completing "The High Road Online CDL Training Program" in preparation for my CDL learners permit. Any bits of wisdom that you would like to pass along would be greatly appreciated.
