    Yes, the weight and height are according to the governments BMI table or called Body M### Index. Not sure about any future rulings on this but I know they are using this as a guideline for the sleep apnea. The military uses the chart as well.

    Here is a on-going thread in the health section of this subject>> Body Mass Index (BMI) and Neck Size Screening?

    Here is another thread in the regulation section covering this topic>> BMI Body Mass Index

    Was that a typo or did the bad language blocker take the word Mass as an insult? :biggrin_2559:

    Go back to the old days and let drivers use Bennies again. More freight gets delivered and the drivers stay skinny. :)
