I just turned 60 and am considering a job as a truck driver after 30 years in an office. Do you think anyone will hire me at my age? Thanks

Murph, welcome to the forum!

I started this career after a thirty year stint in business. There are a lot of us seasoned guys and gals in this business. Many of the trucking companies actually prefer the more mature folks for their work ethic and responsibility. On the day I got hired for my first trucking job they also hired a gentleman who was seventy three years old! I have since then met several drivers who were in their eighties, one of them was a fellow flat bed driver picking up a load of lumber down in Texas.

Don't give it a second thought. If you can pass the physical you can find a steady job in this business.
