A listener sent us this one: "I'm 44. Is anyone going to put me behind the wheel my first year?"
Josh's answer was quick. A career change into trucking at 44 isn't an issue, and he's seen plenty of people in their 50s and 60s come through our classes.
If you've been telling yourself you waited too long, this one's for you.

Every truck driver has a list of things car drivers do that make no sense, and Josh has two at the top of his.
The first is hanging out in a truck's blind spot, where the driver can't see you when he goes to change lanes. The second is cutting in front of a semi and hitting the brakes, when that truck can't stop as fast as you can.
Truckers, which one do you see the most?
