Accessibility and availability of tallest interior height

I am 6’1. I have been able to comfortably stand in every company truck I’ve been in. I could do jumping jacks if I wanted to. The only truck I’ve been in with slightly limited head room is an International, and that was only in the driver’s compartment. If you’re pulling a dry van or reefer, odds are you will be in a truck with a condo sleeper and will have plenty of room. Majority of flatbed and tanker carriers have condo sleepers, but some will opt for mid roofs, which still have a decent bit of room

 

I’m 6’3 and can barley touch the roof of my KW T-680 you should be good

 

I was always able to workout somehow in the truck. Lifting dumbbells above my head. I'm 5'9" and a half .
I do admit. It was easier to do it outside the passenger side. Toward the end, I could keep my dumbbells on the passenger floor. Grab them outside open door. Do a quick workout. Even in winter. Working legs was more of a challenge. Would sit on bunk with ankle weights on. Lift up. Then stand and do backward. I'd do this before, after, and even a third quickie at in evening. Didn't want to be outside for long during winter.
I admit I wasn't successful. Look at my thread on taking care of yourself while driving.

 

Tractor is the whole power unit or the non-trailer portion of the truck and trailer combination.
The truck or tractor has 2 interior areas, the cab (windshield to back of driver & passenger seat) and the sleeper (everything behind the driver & passenger seat). Most semi-trucks have either a mid-roof or condo or hi-rise sleeper meaning you will have headroom in the sleeper area. Nearly all trucks have sufficient headroom in the truck cab area for you to stand or the confined area is such you won't use it for anything but driving. The sleeper area usually only has about enough room for 1-2 people to stand up and slightly more floor space for them to stand up, not enough for even 1 person to lie on the floor. Every truck has unlimited space outside of the truck. I'd probably set up a space in front of your hood and work out there. You won't know exactly how to set up the truck for your activity until you get in it. I would hold off buying anything until you have a truck of your own. Newbies typically think there will be a lot more free-time then they will ever experience. They read about the Hours of Service HOS and imagine many hours of video games, working out, watching tv/video. That's not trucking. There are times at some customers you have free-time but you never know how much or when it will end. Imagine being told "you're next" or we will get to you in next 30 minutes and still being locked to the dock for 10 hours with no update. Do you sleep, cook food, work out? Nobody knows and nobody tells you anything but "you're next".

On a typical day there is JUST BARELY enough time to drive, shower, sleep, eat. Many days you only have time to do some of those. You are paid to drive, not camp or play or workout. You only have time to sleep because the law prohibits you from driving 24/7.

 

That’s the reason I never bought a tv while I was OTR, I KNOW I would stay up to watch tv and then be to tired to drive, I usually kept dude wipes or something in the truck for a TPS bath and crash out, many a night was even to tired for dinner, would park hit the head and then the rack
Rinse and repeat

 

I'm 5'10'' and I can do every exercise I would like with dumbbells except for pressing overhead, but I work around that by kneeling. It stops me from using my legs to kip it up, so it's actually an improvement, and I always do it like that now. Truck business always comes first, and I can't do it as much as I would like. Three sets of 8-12 of one bang for your buck exercise is all I have time for.

 

Also make sure you can properly secure the equipment, you will be driving a 14’ tall sail, if Mother Nature decides it wants to see how well you can fly EVERYTHING NOT SECURED PROPERLY, becomes a projectile
Ever see what happens when a mini fridge sitting on the top bunk becomes air Jordan and impacts a human skull? I Have and it stays with you

 

Congrats....That's a hell of alot more than doing nothing.
