“I’d love to have been a trucker, if I had been younger. Throw on some podcasts and hit the open road.”
Well, how old is too old to be a truck driver? It’s not rocket surgery.
You generally won’t be hired if you’re over 60, which I’m not. However, they won’t hire a 50 year old with no experience.
Secondly, it’s not so much driving that is difficult, but the hours. You might drive for ten hours and then have to wait a couple of hours at the loading dock before you are unloaded, so you have a lot of 2 hour periods of naps and that’s pretty much how you have to sleep through the years.
Not many old people can handle mini-naps as a sleep schedule.
