Abstract
This paper presents demographic and static anthropometric data collected from a nationwide sample of truck drivers. Demographic data presented include age, driving experience, and type of truck driven. Anthropometric results showed that the sample of truck drivers was taller and heavier than the general U.S. population. Twenty-one (21) anthropometric measures are reported for males (N = 183) and females (N = 53), including body lengths, breadths, and circumferences.
