Driver size..

You first need to get cleared for sleep apnea with a sleep study.
Do this BEFORE anything else.
At your size it will be an issue, and you may have to buy a CPAP machine.
Be prepared for it.

 

if you can get the job done. that's all that matters.

it's your weight that's gonna stop your career. the govt is getting stricter and stricter.

i'm 2 inches shorter and a few pounds lighter. i'm surprised i haven't been forced into a machine yet.

 

I don't see why not. Flatbed should help you lose some weight.

 

i am 6'1" and i was 412 when i started last month. i am down to about 380 now. start exercising, it will help. take your time. may take you a bit longer especially in summer but its not a race. my first tarped load took me 4 hours to strap it down and tarp it. i am down to about an hour and a half now

 

What's your blood pressure?
It can't be more than 140/90.

Not trying to be a d**k or anything, just want to make sure you don't get down the road too far before running into unforseen issues.
It happens to so many people because the companies are so bad at pre-screening.

 

a lot will depend on the co too. some will put you through some physical tests and if your pulse goes up too high its bye bye.
