Sure why not. All you are doing is holding a steering wheel 97% of the time.

You've not been in many truck stops have you?
-
Is it alot of drivers with scoliosis -
-
I don't see why not. unless you have pain along with it typically scoliosis doesn't get worse, it's just something you have. Braces can help if your young and you've been diagnosed with correctable scoliosis. I'd have a chiropractor take a look but again, don't see any reason why not. Sitting in an office chair does more damage than a truck seat, at least truck seats float.

And if you do start driving, work for a company that has (dare I say) Volvos. I am in no way a fan. They are butt ugly. But they ride as nice or nicer than any truck you'll find. Or go with a Freightliner Columbia and give up trucking after one day.

Over the years I've seen many drivers with scoliosis. Depending on the severity can go with flatbeds or maybe a 100% no-touch freight company.

His legs is strong Mrs Gump, strongest I've ever seen. But his back is as crooked as a politician.

my backs got a twist, no pain at all, the skool nurse said I'd be on disability if I didn't get it fixed. I is still working.
But never had a doctor giving me the DOT physical care about it.
