FAT people are Discriminated against at prime

MrBeast: Actually, I was just having some fun. But yes, he is a good govenor. My point actually, was that if these politicians in DC (and I am specifically talking about the Senate and Congress) were to have to live life like we do, and feel some pain from some of the stupid laws they pass, things might be a little different. However: I also do agree with "Roll over the Originial". Health is going to become a MAJOR issue for employers, both from the perspective of reducing their insurance cost, as well as the very real issue of safety. And I agree that drivers who can't fit behind the wheel in my opinion should not be in a truck. There are just to many risk for someone that overweight that can cause them to not be able to control a rig in an emergency.

But! not wanting to sound insensative, I would be willing to guess that there might be an angle that will eventually be played. And if you have been a driver for years, I must admit that you might have this right. (After all the whole industry has "Helped Enable" drivers to be overweight!). Like I said, go to a truck stop and look at their food bar! Their not catering to eating healty. But here is my point! If you have been a driver, and now can't get a job because of your BMI, I garranteeeeeee that there is a lawyer out there who will challenge this and eventually it will be determined that your medically unfit to work, and you will get disability. I am not advocating "Living off of the Governement" but it is a hard fact. And you watch, that is what will happen! But the best solution is to start to lose weight! And get yourself back to a SAFE and Healthy weight! And you'll find that your life will be a little better.

 

The driver will still need to be able to reach the pedals and trailer equipment.... lol

 

I have lost 50 lbs and gotten off BP meds,and no more snoring.
And without snoring I am sleeping better and wake up with energy now.
And did it all while driving long haul.
Oh and it only took me 12 weeks! Life is good!

PS No pills or exercise or surgery.

 

I was asked my height and weight before being offered orientation and explained to why she was asking. The recruiter even explained that I would have been required to get the test done had I met their red flag number.
