    As stupid as this sounds.
    I've lost 25 lbs the last 6 weeks going back on family dollar account at Werner. I know what you guys are gonna say.
    But you get a #### good workout in.
    Plus if you pack your own food, it helps.
    Good way to drive truck and get in shape

    In trucking I was 130 wet until later in 9-11 I was still 165 and fit. Perfect shape as far as Im concerned. Anyhow. When I stopped, I got fat into the 250's But in the last 19 months or so I got that back down to 185, Im still seeing if I can break that 180 barrier and keep going back towards the 165. I doubt it. It will take time.

    It is a battle I am winning because I value a future without too much weight knowing the things that are wrong with me.

    There is one thing I discovered in the last 20 years or so for myself, bone loss is pernament and there is about a 10% age related loss in muscle and flesh. I know that my future is limited and I will not make it much past 55 to really see how small and frail I will get from 185. I refuse to accept such a problem.

    passed airbrake, pretrip, in cab (Brake test maybe a certain amount of loss within a limit of time etc).

    Im assuming you failed the driving part and failed possibly even the General knowledge test.

    What got you 6 times in a row. What does it take for you to .. take a hammer and resolve that pesky nail getting into your everything?

    A note to the mods, starting to lose packets from server with delay time icon again. Not too bad. But thinking towards morning it's needing attention. Maybe it's my fault put a lot on it today.
