    Doesn't matter how old anyone is. That is a broken neck waiting to happen.

    When or IF I get back into flatbedding I intend to avoid the tall stuff, if at all possible.

    Good thing I'm not very tall. That somehow makes me feel a little better about a little robust

    In trucking its not how tall you are, but how wide you are that seems to be the issue for these i can't put down a krispy kreme types.
