 That's the first I've heard company with a weight limit (BMI) on its drivers. Are they that hard up over fuel cost?  Besides that, doesn't everybody use their belly to steer while shifting, eating a sandwich, talking on the cell, watching the road, and checking their maps at the same time?  Who says truck drivers can't multi-task? There's an old German proverb that says "An man without a gut is like a woman without T***"

| Well from what Ive read a lot of the big, n some smaller, companies have much more intense physicals now. 40% bmi is pretty high though. I think around half that is considered clinically healthy. Not that it means you cant drive a truck. I see guys who are too fat to touch their knees out driving and guys so skinny im surprised they can shut a trailer. Just keep looking. the good job will find you.

| They should have told you about this long before you ever left home. Failing that they should have given you a plane ticket home with something for your time. If they offer benefits it could have something to do with their insurance carrier. |

I would be betting that it is an insurance thing. Possibly even from a liability standpoint of an out of shape driver stroking out or having a heart attack behind the wheel and taking out a family. And like others here have said, it sucks that they would not tell you this when you were doing your inquiry, before you invested your time. |
