Well I'm 33 yr old....... wait a minute, I tried to say seventy three but Siri threw another fit.... she don't want me to be seventy three!
Anyway, believe it or not I still got my CDL, & it's still good till Oct 2030! And will be out here in Oregon, as long as I slip round ever 2 yrs & find a Dr that will pass me on my CDL physical & won't say I need glasses or my BP a little high or all those other bad things wrong
And speaking of Hi good mileage, thru the yrs I've heard of mechanics that played with & tuned & played some more with engines/vehicles/gearing till they got 40-50-60 MPG, gas & diesel!!!~
Detroits..........the legal name for them back in the day was
SCREAMIN DEAMON.
Yeah I still have my CDL, retired in 06, and decided to keep it, never know when I want to grind some gears.
My employer always paid for the medical every 2 years. A year after retirement, it came up and paid it. 2 years later I didn`t get it, and understood or thought i read, w/o the medical it reverted back to a class 3 or what ever a car Lic. is. If I wanted to drive, something big, just get the medical and move on.
2 years later my renewal for the license came up. Went in to the DMV, and they said I needed to take the class 1, 2, 3, CDL, etc test again....??? WT F. what a bunch of B S.
They gave me a temporary for a year or what ever.
I got my Commercial back in 71, the way it is today, probably couldn`t pass the test with all the k rap on it today.
10 months later moved to Nevada. Go the the DMV to get my Nv. Lic., explain to the lady, and she said "this in Nevada, don`t worry about it". Paid what ever it is, got my CDL.
I was blown away how nice they were here.
Now the way I under stand it here, I can drive w/o a med. if it isn`t something for hire. Start hauling stuff for hire then need a medical.
Turn 80 in Jan., I have no medical issues, no drugs, colestral, high BP, don`t smoke etc... what`s wrong with me?
Iam still running around like Iam 23, keepin on till I can`t keep on. Sit around, and you are done for.....make it happin.
I see people way younger than I am, and talk about how old they are. Old between the ears.
