    There is more to driving than sitting in a seat holding a steering wheel.Leaning and pulling a fifth wheel, dollying down the trailer, crawling under the truck to inspect it, securing cargo, and on and on. If you have back problems, this probably isn't the job for you. If you can do a typical workout routine in the gym without issue, you should be alright.
