New career

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like I need to hold off on training until I can drive full time. I will continue to keep tabs with the industry as suggested. And thanks for the suggestions for reading/training materials - that helps a lot. Doug T.

New career

I am 56 yrs old and can hopefully retire from my job as a project manager at an engineering firm in 6 years. Have been considering taking a weekend truck driving training school at a local junior college, obtaining CDL, and working part time (weekends) to build driving resume so that I can have better choice at driving jobs when I retire. A few questions: (1) I have high blood pressure. Is that a problem? (2) Would I be able to get an essentially entry level job at age 62 [or even now for that matter]? (3) Does the above strategy make sense? (4) Should I wait until later to get training?
