Going with Hubby OTR for the first time

You aren't going to have time to hit much of anything unless there is a gym at the truck stop. Most of the time you will be parked pretty far from civilization as they do not want trucks in their neighborhoods.

Chances are you are going to be very bored if you are used to an active lifestyle.

 

IF you have time - and time means not earning $$ by having the wheels rolling - then the bikes would be OK depending on where you park the truck. Some truck stops are in 'not so nice' areas and the 'rest stops' are along the freeway... Of course you can go a round and a round those, but watch out for cars/trucks... some reststops have grassy areas, but then the dogs like those so I would suggest not using those too much... MMmm... in the cab itself, there are the weights... but careful how much your bring because of room/weight issues. I found an excersise band helps - its light weight and doesn't take up much room... and you can get real creative with it - but then you have too because again with the room issue.... so it will be a challenge, but one you can over come. I have been cooking in the truck (team w/my husband) and use the Burton Oven/crock pot/microwave (we have an inverter).. the butane stove I couldn't use because we are in motion when I'm cooking usually - I wouldn't trust that it wouldn't tip over. Although we do have a small propane BBQ for those times that we have time

 

I remember when I was a model I was a workout freak. Depending on how long you will be gone it may not be that disastrous for you. Though your mentality may change and you may not want to workout as hard anymore. I worked out all the time to a point where I thought it was necessary. I took a few days off once and felt so relaxed that I do not work out as much anymore to enjoy the relaxing days.

 

Best of Luck but you will not have much time to do the things you are use to doing

 

In case you people didn't notice, he is going to work for
swift. She will have plenty of time to ride her bike while he waits for a door at the warehouses and a lumper to unload his load of toilet paper and other cheap freight.

 

You can get plenty of time to workout since you don't have to sleep while the truck is sitting. You can sleep whenever you want since you're not a driver. Might not be at a gym but you can run or ride your bike while he is down for a 10.

 

Not sure about swift but the megacarrier I am with doesn't allow personal conveyance use of the truck ie. you cannot drop your trailer at a ts and bobtail around.

Now I do know there is a gym starting that is catering to truckers with truck parking and some locations at/near pilots. Can't remember the name of it, heard about it on the radio.
