I wonder how many drivers are stuck between the seats on a Pete 379 each year?

Another trick a lot of drivers do;

keep wearing the same size pants and shirts, even though you've gained another 40 lbs.
it'll help you push away from those 2nd and 3rd helpings...

keep plenty of Tums, for gas... or you'll bratwurst, and then people should move away....

I was just about to say "Do not get a Kenworth T660/T800/W900." I weigh 190 or so, and I still bump both centre armrests when I go to the bunk on the 660. Then again, I've had a couple rather large trainees that squoze between them to get to the sleeper.
As for the steering wheel, if you get a truck where the wheel tilts a lot, just tilt it forward to keep it away from your gut. I don't know how much that'll help, but it's worth a shot, methinks.

The toughest for me where the 379's.
I'm 240... which is about 30 over.
I can't imagine anyone bigger making it between the seats, without grease.

My last rig was a T-600 coffin sleeper.
Never needed the sleeper though, so I was able to let myself eat donuts...
All local or Intrastate runs.
