Every driver will face the day when the keys get handed in. For me, it was June 19th. The road doesn’t last forever, but what you plan now determines what life looks like after trucking.
—
Q1: How should drivers plan financially?
Save early, even if it’s just a little. Retirement accounts, investments, and smart budgeting keep you from scrambling when health or age forces retirement.
—
Q2: What about health planning?
Insurance matters more after you hang it up than while you’re rolling. Know your Medicare, supplemental options, and long-term care needs.
—
Q3: How do you mentally prepare for life after trucking?
Truckers are used to constant motion. Stopping is harder than you think. Find hobbies, volunteer, or share your knowledge (like I’m doing here). Purpose doesn’t end when the driving does.
