I would like some opinions on whether or not I would be wasting my time trying to get into the trucking industry. Hindi film video songs download. I'm 60 years old, in very good health and except for being a little overweight, am in good physical condition. I've been retired for 5 years but would like to go to work as a truck driver. I have good credit, an excellent employment history, no criminal history and an unblemished driving record. I would hate to pay for a truck driving school and go through all the training, only to find that trucking companies aren't interested in a 60 year old 'recruit'. I'm also a little apprehensive about asking this question to a driving school recruiter. I'm sure they would all say 'Sure, no problem at all! Will that be cash, or check?' Thanks!

Jul 29, 2019 This truck driver is nearing retirement age, but he’s started a new career as a makeup artist. At first, he was worried about touching the models' faces with his rough and calloused hands. Furthermore, OOIDA states, 'Most independent drivers plan on retiring at 67 years of age with the largest majority of them expecting social security to pay for their retirement.' So, they have no separate retirement plan, huh?

I, too, am an old guy. I will be 60 next month. Age does not seem to be a factor in this industry. I figure to have another 15 years or better. You will hear from the experts here that age is more times preferred as older drivers are more mature and do not get easily rattled. As long as you are healthy and alert, along with having the desired attitude to driving, you can drive as long as you want! But I'll let the experienced drivers tell you that. I am making a major relocation from Germany to the USA just to get into this field. I can hardly wait to get back and get started. You will do fine!
