I'll confess that I had a real problem with the working boys coming knocking. I put two of them down in the party row here and there. Its just one of those things back then.

for a minute there i thought this was some attempt at dry humor
This question u could answer yourself by quite simply getting in a vehicle and seeing if you can touch the pedals and accelerator. You do realize now every yahoo and clown in the room will start on the little guy jokes don't ya?
Grubby Thanks this. -
My wife is about 5'2 maybe shorter ,that's a picture of her standing on the flatbed in my avatar sometime about late 1980s IIRC. She's had no trouble driving every truck we have had all these years and we change trucks every few years. Only truck we have never driven was a peterbuilt.

Today's rigs offer so much adjustment and adaptability I think near anyone can operate comfortably, but if you can't reach the trlr door latches I could be a problem
Gin86 Thanks this.
