really obese truck drivers: positive replies only

[Gonfercoffee]

I'm positive I've never seen so many unhealthy obese people as in a Pilot or T/A
Saw a guy today from McAlvane trans
He could not get back into his own truck!
He kept rocking until he could get up the steps
Then he could not turn to get into his seat!
The whole industry has turned into fatso boys

The amusing part of fat out-of-shape truck drivers are all of the many reasons that are given for being a fat truck driver, besides laziness. Can't find a place to exercise - did you know that 37 trips around your truck and trailer is a mile. What if your company paid you to exercise once or twice a week, would you do it then? It's called unloading your trailer and getting into shape at the same time - I know its not part of your job, but you get paid to do exercise. Your large truck stops has a parking lot that around the perimeter is between .3 to .6 miles, I know drivers would laugh at you for doing this, right, but you just made the comment about this obese driver, would you have laughed if you had seen him walking around the parking lot? My point is that all of these reasons that drivers give for being over weight is BS because there are ways of staying active with out wearing some out fit that looks stupid, just a pair of walking shoes and the mind set that others can set on their fat butts and laugh at you for walking while in time you can laugh at them for bad knees due to being subjected to being over weight, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack or maybe more then one of the many problems that obese people are waiting to die from. Go ahead and laugh at the drivers taking walks or running because as the saying goes "they will get the last laugh" if you know what I mean. How about giving the reasons for why you can't exercise? Unlike the lazy drivers some have medical reasons for being over weight. How healthy are you?

AAAAWWWWW DANNNNG this oughta get good! Evidently GFC and DATA have never met!!!!!

Okay GFC, since YOU of all People started another thread....

There may be a possible Friend potential when offering a hand up or a kindly shove.

Shouldn't be too difficult to discern GFC from slimmer Drivers because GFC stated CLEARLY somewhere in the General Forum that in his words "I like to hang out in Truck Stop lounges wearing loose fitting tank tops and baggy shorts".
LOOK for the Drivers standing in the corner or near some useful Cherry Master as GFC will most assuredly be one of them yet ONLY at a hole of T.A. or a possibly converted Williams T.S. now known as Pilot.

GFC stated in the Bus threads that he actually LIKES BUSES and RIDERS yet doesn't actually want to be IN a Bus (except when he is moving them after having polished all the Knobs and Wheels) when he's not sitting at some Port waiting for some sweet deal or talking Philosophy with Professor Beagle.
