I am currently retired, have been for one year, tired of sitting around on my butt, will start CDL School August 6th.

Not sure which Company I will work for, have been reading all the boards I can find for the last 3 months, Great Information, Thanks to everyone that post and respond.

I live in the NW and am looking at Gordon, Interstate, Watkins/Shepard, Kight and Schneider.

I traveled 46 weeks a year for the last 7 years with my previous job, 20 years there,,,,,,, big difference,,,,,,, in a plane.

Any others 60 or over doing the same thing?

I'm 50 and just retired from GM last friday, after a little more than 30 years. I plan on relocating to PA next spring, and then start my new trucking career after i'm settled in. We have a solid work background, and as long as you have a clean driving record, and don't have a problem passing a dot physical, us "older" guys will actually have an advantage over someone much younger :wink: Best of luck to you in your new career!

All of my records are clean, have no problem with any of that, can pass a physical with no problem, looking forward to get started.

Congrats on your retirement, I worked for GM in the 80's here in the NorthWest, still drive their product.

Good Luck on your move and new adventure.
