    If you pull a van or reefer, a simple load lock will allow you to do pullups and chin-ups. An empty trailer is great for doing sit-ups, pushups, lunges, burpees, jumping jacks, and jumping rope. Also, doing a handstand with your back against the wall is an easy substitute for doing the military press without a barbell.

    Good gobbley mobbley man, I’m worn out just reading all those exercises.

    *SAID WITH GREAT PRIDE*

    I might not do all those other exhausting activities (not necessary for my kind), but I do burpees with the best of ‘em. You just let me down a nice cold one and watch me go!

    I don't know why you couldn't read a book while waiting at a dock or after you're done driving. From what I've read on here there are a pile of drivers that play video games hanging out in their truck so why can't you read?? Seemed like a reasonable question to me

    There is a phone app called "Libby". It's free to use any library for free as long as you have a library card. With all the covid restrictions, you can apply for a library card on line. Takes about five minutes. All the audio books are free to check out just like any library, and you can listen to them while you're driving.

    I have an out and back job. Get back once a week. Can fit in even a quick workout for my legs. Have 24 hour fitness membership.
    Then I have adjustable dumbbells in my truck.
    Working with weight. Pushing that. Seems to work out well with this job.

    Start making a habit of shopping at thrift stores. You can load up on books for cheap and never need to return them. Might find some other goodies too. Tee shirts, work boots, weights you can use for working out in the truck, etc.

    And don't automatically shy away from history books on obscure topics either. It's tough to find more lunacy and carnage anywhere else.
