    So, what else is new?
    Most people would GAG at the food some truck stops pass off as "food".

    Truckers are always pushed for time because no one outside the truck driver knows how to schedule a truck. Therefore the trucker suffers feeling he has no time for sleep or good meals. No one is going to correct the problem except the victim of this dilemma. That would be for the driver to take control of his own eating and sleeping patterns. If the trucking companies don't like it, call someone who cares, like the D.O.T.:biggrin_255:

    It would be so nice of the people who do all these studies and spend what could be my hard earned tax money on there profound studies, would spend a few weeks ridding in a truck not just on the big road but on the byways of America and see all the wonderfull opportunities there are out there to find healthy well prepared good tasting meal for the American Truck Driver. :biggrin_25513:

    I think it's 32 times arount truck/trailer = 1 mile that's a start :biggrin_255:

    Heard on the Road Dog radio this morning that most obese trucks have sleep apnea and that a there are going to be required medical tests on drivers that are considered obese for sleep apnea making it a part of their medical certification.
