I am enrolling in truck driving school that is if I pass the physical they want me to take first. I am 59 years old but I had a heart attack back in 2009 that was fixed with 2 stents and then another blockage occured in 2012 which was also fixed with a stent. Iam working out every day and I ride my bike 10 or more miles 3 times a week another words I am doing good now thank God ! There are no restrictions I see a cardiolgists on a regular basis to keep in check.
My question is with this history of heart disease will I be able to get a job in the trucking industry ? The people at the school said there shouldn't be a problem being placed after graduating and obtaining my cdl because I am seeing a docter regularly.like I said I feel great now but $5300.00 for tuition is a lot of money and I want to be sure I will be able to get a job so please your advice would greatly be appreaciated .
Thank you
Tony
