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 am right there brother and it's amazing how much bigger we are without the michrophone in front of us when Billy Big Rigger sees us isn't it??? :roll: :P That's when they get real quiet and all the echo and Southern accent goes away on the Wealfare Telephone :D :lol:

so that means you all cant stand straight up in a truck sleeper? :shock:

WildK9 10-20-2006 03:00 AM

i have a T600, so when i go in the sleeper the floor drops about 6" and i still have about a foot of clearance to the roof.(but then again, i'm not one of the 6'5" guys you were originally refering to) :)

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.
