I'm 6'5" 320lbs driving petroleum for almost 16 years never had a problem. most of the companies run newer trucks with plenty of room.
Any tall guys hauling fuel?

My average trip is 30-45 mins then I’m back out of the truck for atleast 30-60 mins. I’m not tall by any means we do have some tall guys working for us a 6’4 and a 6’5 one drives a 579 and the other drives a 387 neither has complaints. By the time that cramped feeling sets in youre at your stop

6'1' in a Pete all day, never feel cramped

I've driven all sorts of trucks over the years and it's always a crap shoot. I've had trucks where the steering wheel is 1" from my big belly and other trucks where it's a considerable distance away. Being a big guy, it's the first thing I think of when climbing into a new truck. I have no idea why they vary, but they do.

Precisely why I bought a Pete with the small bunk. Lets that seat slide back. I have a 2010 386 with a 48" bunk, and I drive part time for a guy that has a 2009 386 day cab. Its night and day for leg room. And weight difference is minimal, but extra wheel base makes mine ride way better.
