[QUOTE="Rainman, post: 1518368, member: 22207"] I'm in my 50s, been doing this since I was 18. I wouldn't seriously consider starting FT at my age. You will have the lowest seniority and will have the heaviest, crappiest route if you go into delivery. Depending on where you are, you maybe able to go to feeders. That would be much easier on your body. This is a young mans job. At your age now you could still handle it, but the years catch up to you quickly. If you're looking for the benefits, work PT and use the job as a supplement. I don't know your situation, and as hard as the job is it could still be a big improvement over what you are currently doing. Go for it, the worst thing that could happen is that you will change your mind and quit. It's a lot of BS to deal with. As long as you go into it with your eyes open you're ok. You'll read a lot of negative posts, but it's not all bad. But there is a good reason we are paid this good, and why not everyone can or wants to do what we do. It isn't for everyone. Good luck, I hope thing work out well for you. [/QUOTE]
