Am I too short to drive a 18-wheeler?

I'm 5'10" tall and weigh in at a staggering 135 lbs. Never had an issue, and I've been driving for 18 years.

In fact my issue is comical. I don't fit the stereotype, so many people do a double-take when they see me climb out of my truck.

 

I hope your a woman or your that skinny guy in the picture!

 

We do a double take when we see the wind carry you across the parking lot. Beef it's whAts for dinner.

 

I hate you, you know. In fact, I'll bet a whole bunch of us "full figured men" HATE YOU!

Just kidding.

 

I'm a guy, lol.

I regularly exercise, which is why my weight is so low.

Im also part Native American, and that does two things for me. I look a lot younger than what I actually am, and I can't grow facial hair. When drivers see me in reality, most of them have a hard time believing me when I tell them how long I've been driving.

 

At 5'4" I don't think you're likely to have too much trouble. I'm 6'5", and lemme tell ya, some days what I wouldn't do to be a little shorter....

 

Lol....Ya, I hear ya. I had a Native American friend who I use to go hiking with. He weighed nothing. His doctor told him his BMI was way too low. I turned him onto Slim Jims, pepperoni and Dinty Moore beef stew.

 

I'll just say one word about "skinny Indians." Paiute.

As to the facial hair, I hear you on that. But by golly, I keep trying! Had a skin lesion removed from my face by the family doc a few years ago. He looked at my so called "beard" and ask me, "WHY BOTHER?"

(My response was My WIFE LIKES IT???)

 

I'm 5'15" myself. It definitely is an average man's world. All I could find were medium t-shirts, yesterday. Peeps be lookin at muh nips.
