Profile For Karen W.

I am 5'1 and about 150 pounds. I just graduated school the end of November. I also had the same issues as your wife. My instructor suggested I used a boat seat cushion or any other type of pillow. They are allowed when u test or at least here in Wisconsin it is. I managed to make itvthruvthe whole 5 weeks. She can also try and lower the seat so her feet are flat on the floor. I hope it all works out for her.

My wife and I were in truck driving school together at Crowder College but today they made her withdraw from the class. We were in a four week program. She wants to come back in February to try again in a five week program they have. She is 5'1 and about 135 pounds. She pulls up so close to the steering wheel that when she shift gears she needs to sort of reach back and around and that causes her to turn the wheel whenever she has to shift gears. She also had problems with the clutch because she had a hard time pressing in it all the way. I'm going to finish up the four week program and get started with CFI, and she plans to return to Crowder again to try once more. So the question is, do any of you know of away to over come the problems she's having from being short?

I finally graduated truck driving school a lil over a month after it ended. Had issues with a backing maneuver. But non the less I finally passed and got my class A cdl. Now just need to find a company to sign in with. Any one have any suggestions on a good start off company.

Try putting the seat lower and yes you can use a pillow. I just went thru school and one of my instructors suggested it. I'm a lil on the short side myself. It helped me.
