    6'6" and it sucks in most trucks.

    I had the most knee room in a 2005 Peterbilt 379. No stand up room, of course...

    JB Hunt moved the seat frame back for me and I was able to not rub my knee on the dash.

    I had a 2004 Volvo 770 and I had tons of leg room. The shifter was in an odd position which made for moving to the back a little awkward.

    I could stand up straight even in the 379. Not much room past my head, though.

    The others were fine of course.

    I'm 6'5" and drive day cabs so most trucks are tight for me.

    My Kenworth had a step down Sleeper and even if you were 7' tall you'd still have alot of room to spare.

    The T-2000 had a flat floor with no step down from the cab to the sleeper I was never so happy to see a Freightliner condo again.

    My Freightliner looks to have about 7 feet above the drivers seat, and about 8 feet in the sleeper. I'd like to move the seat farther back, but there's a cabinet there and I have a hole rubbed in the upholstery behind the seat now. So, I've sort of taught my knees to operate the switches on either side of the steering column.
