Highly Considering Trucking but not sure

Hey Brian, welcome to Trucking Truth. First question on your mind: I'm 64, started driving in January, not 100% in health (maybe 90%), and having the time of my life.

Next: check out these resources: Truck Driver's Career Guide and Brett's Book to learn about the trucking life.

If you decide to make a go of it, get started on your CDL test here: High Road Training Program.

You asked about day/night driving. Trucking is not only 24 hours a day, it's 7 days a week, 12 months a year - operating non stop. (Not do fast - you'll get enough break time for yourself!)

"Work" on the job? Some types of driving require dock work, or trying down flatbeds, but most driving you'll start with is just hooking and unhooking trailers.

Thanks for replying. I understand the business is 24/7 job. I would much prefer driving during day to early evening. Just never got used to 3rd shift work when I've tried it. Guess my question is are their companies where the majority of driving is done early morning and daytime? I get there may be times you're driving longer to get somewhere on time.

Highly Considering Trucking but not sure

Hi everybody! I'm new here and it looks like the place to ask some questions. I want to make a career change but I want to make sure trucking will be a good fit. I understand no job is perfect and there will be good days and bad days. I'm 50 and in good shape. Are people this age able to perform the work required on the job? I don't want to get overweight on the road. How would I eat healthy while driving? If driving solo will I be able to drive mostly days? I've never been much of a night person, preferring to rise early in the morning. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
