    I beg to differ, I am admittingly overweight (before any of you skinny folks jump on me, Im workin on it) however If someone is overweight, but mentally and physically able to complete the required duties for the job in an efficient manner, then it is in fact discrimination to deny said person employment, if you dont believe me, google around, as their have been a few lawsuits about this very issue.

    Your company spends an extra $5000 on a truck that weighs 200 pounds less than last years model . Then they put a 500 pound driver in it....????? Every time I see a team operation with two 400+ pounders driving I wonder if they ever worry about being 500 pounds over gross then have to explain why they cant make weight.

    I concur, you sniffed me out. Just tryin' to have a little fun. Which now leads me to a confession.."Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Joe, I work for Knight Transportation, and I am fat! Sob! Sob! I look like a stillborn rhino! Man, I'm so fat that I cant even see my pecker anymore!" There! Are you happy now?
