I doubt it's because you're too old. It's probably an employers unwillingness to pay what you're worth. I'm not telling you to go to a broker for your loads, or if they even exist anymore. Plus you'll have to pay the broker a percentage for finding you work. Yeah, you have to be an owner operator. Good luck in your search.

You are never too old. Old is like 80 or 90 years old. You aren't old. With your skills, you could easily get a job in a town the size of Abilene. Try several ways: 1. Put an ad in the paper making yourself known as a driver and tell what kind of skills you have had. 2. Read the newspaper want ads. They usually have references to people needing jobs with phone numbers. 3. Go to a business where there are truck drivers, like the truck stop and inquire there. 4. There may be some government run businesses where you can make applications and they will find a job for you. Go to the courthouse and inquire of such a place.
