I
am now 58 years old And I am driving cross Country for us x-press. I
was on disability for Years due to having both Hips and both knees
replaced, also had spurs removed From my shoulders. I wanted to
travel but Being on disability does not Give you a lot of money For that.
I did volunteer work for The American Red Cross for A few years and
loved it,I even went to a few disasters To help out. But that did not
help pay The bills. One day I was Reading a news paper and Saw an add on
getting Your cdl for free because Stimulus money would Pay for it. I went
to CDL College and after the training I ended up going to cr England, I am now A driver For US Express.I pick up all my loads
in Golden, CO and deliver all over The west to mid west, I am Only drop and
hook and That is all right by me. Don't let your medical History stop
you, if you have High blood pressure and If it is control with meds thats
ok with most company's They are worried by heart Problems and diabetic
problems They want you to be able To get in back of trailers to Secure
the loads (I used to carry A step ladder with me but Now I can do it
without one) You do not need to know Anything about engines but You
do need to know How to check the fluids and Other things twice a day But
CDL College will teach You. I love my job I have Seen more of this
country In the last three years then I did in the first fifty five
years And I am loving it.
PS:I for got to mention I am Female in my story and that My employer has no problem With me having my joints Replaced. I have been with Us Xpress for two years And I have not called in sick At all. I am home every weekend With this company .
