Profile For Mike M.

I started trucking after 6 years in the Marines, two graduate degrees, and retirement from Higher Ed IT. Started at 56. I have not done any "long haul." Mostly regional. I wasn't in the best of shape and had some issues but so far I've done well. So can you!

Thank you all for the information. Awesome forum!!!

I'm 62 and will be retiring from my job in March 2021. I would like to start new career as long haul truck driver, dry van. I'm single, love to travel. I've thought about doing this for decades. I have some questions to see if there might be any issues: 1. Would my age be an issue? 2. I'm in good physical shape and very active. I do have hip replacement in my right leg. Doesn't slow me down, though. 3. I've seen youtube videos on agility tests. The only one I'm concerned with is squatting under trailer. I'm 6'2", not sure if i could squat under trailer, but could go down on one or both knees to do pretrip inspection if that would be allowed. Thank you, Mike
