Are bigger guys given a harder time?

Go to flat, step or heavy haul you'll be fine. Yea the bmi stuff will eventually come around but not from he company from the med examiner. If you passed once youll pass again. Its just a pita but its something that may have to be done. Other than that your built to run flat or step id say get into to school, get you cdl and get on the road with a flatbed company.

 

This is true, Panther doesn't require experience for vans or straight trucks. Most of their owners do want you to have a cdl b though for the vans. discount on commerical insurance if their drivers have a commercial license.

 

300 is a middle weight by trucker standards. Don't sweat it. You'll be OK.

 

And that's just the wives!

 

Huh??? Do you have a special med card??

 

Sad but you went to a rather poor school.. if there were two students available to me and one had the ability to drive a standard transmission and the other had no experience in stanadards.. I would have taken the student without the standard transmission. I only have to show the student how it works in a truck........ not retrain them and break the habits of the normal standard clutch use problems of synchro'd vs non-synchro'd transmission.

 

Redex....ya gave me flash backs about being in the military Lol. I think when most people think of truck drivers.....they probably think of someone who is...... shall we say pleasently plump. Here in the last couple years the industry has taken an interest in trying to rub out the super big boys.....the ones that have a problem walking, and probably cant go to the bathroom standing up. On this topic the easiest way to get asked to leave is by having uncontrollable high blood pressure, or un-manageable diebetice. Just being a big guy.....you will have no problem dude.
