Hi y'all,
I was wondering if there is a height/weight requirement going into trucking. I am a women, 5'2'', 110 lbs. Fit and goes to gym for weight lifting quite often. Is there a physical requirements for trucking? Does it differ from companies? Thank you

Depends on the job. Flatbed or HH takes more physical fitness. Otherwise, if you can reach the pedals your good to go.

as long as you can pass a DOT physical, a DMV driving test, and the various CDL endorsement tests, including hazmat, and have a clean background, then you can drive a truck.
i also one time, when i was delivering to one of the GM factories, was watching a trucker back into a spot. all the other drivers were watching too. that driver got the trailer into a rather tight dock, after a few tries.
when the driver got out of the cab?
she must've stood 4 foot nothing..... (at least she looked it), and the other drivers just walked away, not daring to bust her chops.......truckdriver31 Thanks this. -

You can do anything you want in trucking..your size isn't gonna stop you from doing whatever niche you want.

You'll find that the ergonomics of the truck cab are usually pretty good. Seat, steering wheel and mirror adjustments are generous. You'll be fine.
