    Knew a midget in my former hometown that owned a landscape supply place with several tri axles. He used blocks on the pedals to drive, I believe he has since passed away.

    I figured it would be possible with some modifications as you can modify a passenger car to accommodate a midget. It's just I haven't seen any Professional Driving midgets out there.

    I guess old Willy decided to get rid of the private fleet. I didn't know the oompas bought their own trucks...

    Actually, when you see a Peterbilt, the driver doesn't actually have the seat lowered all the way down. Its a little person. The story we take for truth about Peterbilt drivers driving with the seat on the floor was a myth perpetuated by the little people's agenda so they could covertly infiltrate the trucking industry and promote their little person interests.

    Whattttt! I'm 6'5" 215 I'm usually around 235 but this broken jaw thing has dropped my weight. My 14 year old is 6'0" but my wife is almost 5'1".

    I had to get a longer mattress when I drove.

    It's simple for little people because of pedal and shifter extenders.
