Profile For John D.

I apologize for the duplicate post.

Hello, I am a 55 year old man who is trying to figure out what to do with the last 15 to 20 years left of work I have before me. I have always loved driving long distances. Many years ago I drove a limousine. The field I have been in for the past 20 years had to do with computers. It's hard to get a job and keep a job. I do have some money put away for retirement and my daughter's college. So I am trying to figure out if trucking is the route I should go. I do have sleep apnea so I am not sure if that would cause an issue. However, I have it under control by using a cpap machine ever night. I am not looking to become an owner operator. I know this decision is ultimately up to me but I would appreciate some thoughts from professional drivers. Could I get good medical benefits with a driving job? How is the pay? Are there retirement packages? Thank you for your help.

Hello all, first time poster. If a middle aged man wants to make a career move into truck driving, but is diagnosed with sleep apnea, are his chances small? Would his doctor need to say he is able to do that for a living? What if he is getting treatment? He has years of experience as a limo driver. Thanks
