Trucking at 59

I am a 59 year old male. I 'm married. I want to continue my current full- time profession until at least age 62 and maybe 65. I am not mechanical and have no familiarity or experience with trucking.


I have thought about going to trucking school on weekends, getting my CDL, and trying to find a job driving a truck on the weekends. Is that crazy?

By the way, I live in the coalfields of southwestern Virginia.

Trucking it up after middle age
by: The Crazy Trucker

Its not crazy to go trucking after 59. Especially if you have a plan to get in and out.

If you are in good health and can pass a DOT physical and have a great background, someone will hire you for a trucking job.
