A 6'6" Driver Will have a problem if he ever gets a Local Job and ends up driving a "Mack Vision" Day Cab

Day Cab:

A tractor which does not have a sleeper berth attached to it. Normally used for local routes where drivers go home every night.

Well I'm 6'7 and drive an International...I wish it was a bigger truck. Hard to work the clutch(I don't like to float) without hitting the steering wheel with my knees. And wearing a size 18 shoes doesn't help either. So I can dig what your saying. The sleeper tho....lol lets just say it's alway a curl up into a ball situation(the fetal position)as my legs are to long.

At 6/7 I have no problem being a truck driver. I often run 6 hours plus each day before taking a break to stretch. I've driven a freighliner Cascadia and a Kenworth T680. You'll be just fine.
