I've been reading and researching a lot about getting my CDL. Before I actually pull the trigger on training, one key question: I'm almost 6'6"; does that make me too tall?

I'm in good shape and pretty flexible, I would just like to hear from any other tall drivers about the reality of living in a cab/sleeper for a tall person.

Thanks, Seldon

I'm considering getting my CDL. This web site has been very helpful. One question about loading/unloading. I've seen the following comments: "OTR drivers rarely have to unload" and "if you drive you will need to unload".

I'm in good shape and I exercise a lot, but I'm also 53 and don't want to get into a job where loading and unloading a trailer is a regular part of my job description. The specific questions are:

- Are there companies I should look for where unloading is rare? - Are regional job more/less likely to have to unload? I understand I may have to start OTR, but my goal would be to get into regional driving ASAP.

Thanks.
