This is something that I've had a little concerned about as well. I'm 6' 8" and about to start school on the 17th. I figure chances are the bed in the sleeper will pose the greatest challenges.
Will I be short enough for truck driving?

Honestly, this sounds to me like some kind of reverse psychobabble.
"Let's tell people in our advertising that you can't be too big. People being what they are, will IMMEDIATELY contact us for training."
"Two reasons for this. First off, folks always want to know that they do 'fit in.' Second, people always want what they think is being held from them. Hell, Jerry, we'll have every seat in every class filled by the end of the week!"
"Great idea Hal! Go ahead and try it and see if it works! If it does, there's a nice bonus in it for you!"
At six foot, you are not particularly tall for what is average for an American male, in his prime. -
