    With the piss-poor pay rate they are offering, no wonder they are desperate.

    As a person of size myself, can you tell me what the bmi limit is? I am also in the process of putting in applications, but don't want to waste time with a company that has bmi requirements that I can't meet.

    Thanks!

    maybe he's too skinny? not likely, but possible. seriously, big man......if you're so voluptuous that you can't even get a job driving a truck, you might want to try a little harder. and you mentioned wanting to do flatbed.... oh lordy. I did that for several years - it is NOT for the physically unfit driver. one time I helped an ample driver secure his load. he couldn't even throw the straps. he was out of breath and leaning up against the trailer after a few attempts. and he still had to TARP IT!!! I couldn't do it all for him - I had to get on the road. I don't know how he made out.

    I checked out the BMI chart and it is way off... The chart said I should be 20 pound lighter then My Doc said. That chart just goes by height and weight nothing about age..

    Prime will test you for sleep apathy if you have a high bmi at your cost. Then if you do test positive you are required to purchase a machine for it. Its on there website I think. I dont think they just tell you no because your fat. I have seen some real big guys do amazing things as far as work and athletics go.
