I once gave a flat bed stake driver a new nickname...
He was hauling onions out of Cali and I called him a tear jerker on the ray-day-oh.

He responded with, "I must have it vented right."

I hear he stays busy and we all know that if you stop, you'll rust in place like a tin woodsman.
My dear old dad, God rest his soul, drove from age 25 to 70. After serving the last two years of WW II in the US Navy. 45 years on the road ain't bad!

If you call 279lbs/19.9stone 'good shape' for 6'4", then thank you.

Put it this way...you don't want to die healthy, that'd be such a waste

I'm not quite six feet and weigh 15 1/2 so we are both probably proportionate

Size 44 (US) Jeans. My belly is bigger around that my legs are long(34).
My knees won't allow me any more exercise than I already get. (painful)

In the summer time I do eat a lot of salads. I prefer iceberg (head) lettuce over that leafy stuff and I have a bunch of radishes in water in the cooler all the time for snacking.

Rabbit food?

I eat a balanced diet which has made my waist the same as my inseam... 34,34. It also made my former co-driver jealous. He was rotund!
Dunlop had jumped all over him. He did love his steaks.

When I go shopping, I balance what I want to eat that week in my right hand with what is in my left hand.
The only time I eat meat is when what is on the menu appeals to me and that depends on which T/S I am in. Up here, truck stops are few and far between and good truck stops with good food are fewer. Where I am right now in Thunder Bay, ON the food is pretty good and the salads are great! Where I will be delivering my load to the food sucks except for the toasted western sandwhiches. So I have some radishes for snacking.

Arrived at a plant in South Bend, IN, on time as usual. They are telling me I am early....days early. They have the unload scheduled for Aug 1. So here I sit, waiting for my company and the consignee to work it out. $10 an hour. But hey, not actually working, just chilling, so it's all cool.

Watching the popcorn grow no doubt. I could do that for $10.00 an hour.
