First drove a dump truck "on road" when I was 16.

(That was in the 70's when that was legal to do.)

First drove a truck "off road" (on private property) when I was 11.

Default Start Age

You need at least three more age ranges, 45 - 50, 50 - 55, 55 - 60. I was 49 when I started.

I first drove a truck for a living when I was about 18. Things were a little different back then.

yep things were different then. The earth was completely made of water and everyone wore scary blue body suits. Everyone except Kevin Costner because we had to know who the star of the movie was!
