    Can you sit for more than 4 hours at a time?

    Will it limit your ability to walk, crawl, bend, stoop, and otherwise perform the functions of the job and its other daily activities without special assistance regularly?

    If the answer to any of these is, no, than that is your answer.

    Otherwise, give it a go, and see what happens.

    I do not see anything in the regulations saying one cannot drive.

    On the other hand, some should have a brain replacement.:biggrin_25522:

    Only if you can pass the physical to get you med card. Some companies required you to pass their physical as well!

    Yep go take a DOT physical. Just let them know you are having yourself checked out to make sure you are fit enough to be a driver.

    If you pass then persue a trucking carrer.
