If you can pass the DOT physical, you'll never be to old for this life. As long as you work steady and all the hours the law permits, sure you'll make a good living. Since you won't have an apartment or house payment - you can consider that amount back in your pocket. You'll learn to eat most of your meals 'In' your tractor, there's all kinds of equipment set up just for trucks from coffee makers to slow cookers, to fridges for milk, lunch meat and healthy foods. Your 1st year of income won't be top of the line pay wise, but each year it will grow. After school start with a good company and work hard. The time spent on the road and miles under you - is where your pay increase will start to grow. Good luck. I personally think it's the Best Job around.
