How Old is Too Old?

[FranklyOld]

With it being common knowledge that the term itself is subjective, in your opinion, how old is 'too old' to start OTR expediting in a Sprinter Van?

As long as you are in good health, age isn't an issue.

I know a few guys started after retirement.

I know someone in his 70's doing it OTR. He used to post on here, I haven't been able to get him to come back on. I don't think you can go by a number.
For old timers, I'm talking about wombat.

I am in my 50s and in relatively good health overall. I expedited in my 40s and enjoyed it immensely. I think I'll give it another go.

I thought he retired.
Is he still with L1?

He's been back with L1 in a Sprinter running OTR with his wife for a couple of years now. Honestly, I don't know how he does it. Sad thing is he has grossed 10K more then me in a van and took 6 weeks off this year. He drives for an owner, but still the van grossed more then I have in a straight truck. Granted, I don't run very hard and like my time off, but still. All I know is, I don't want to be his age and feeling I have to run that hard. I gave up those long marathon runs with no sleep a long time ago.
