    Watch over the top. Dude has a workout machine hooked up in the cab. I've seen guys have a basic workout setup at truck stops. Or you could get a bicycle and ride to the gym.

    Whenever you finish. You will not know until you shut the truck down for the night.

    I had to reply to this feedback, here (Especially, the emphasis, on taking shots, on a persons character, on the basis, of an action, by which another states is "irresponsible" (or, suggests it). Obviously, this persons is a kiss a-s. For those, whom like to get taken advantaage of, by more expereineced opportunists, in whatever field, learn, to develop such kiss a-s, attitude (Others, whom can take advantage of you -salesmen, business men, managers, etc) will love you! FOr, others, whom look out for #1 (Each of us individually), put up the finger to such attitude. (And, dont give me the bs, that a irrisponsible, person, who leaves trailer behind, to go to the gym, is not placing self first or is dumb, for doing so. THat would be like saying... health conscius, fit, gym loving people, are tools or dumb, cause they could be usin that time to enjoy a hamburger that weights 2 pounds. Really? First of all, look out for you! It seems to me, truckers are mentally boggled down. I mean, in all comment sections, some suggest using towles as ropes, jumping jacks, your own dumbells, not walking, bycicling, or paying 7$ to uber it to the gym back and forth. But, theyll pay 10$ for a pack of ciggs a day, another 20 bucks, on mcwhoppers, coca cola, and whatever. These are supposse to be the poepl we listen to??? ## that.. Park that truck elsewhere, get a uber, skip them mcwhoppers, and give the finger to the boss, whom would rahter, you live, eat, in your trailer, work out, not socialize, be socially ackward, and a victim to ignorance, oppression, etc, by reframing such life style as "responsible". I snear, look down, at the idiot whom suggests, such is smart. And, this should be taken as a slap to the face, to wake you up (otherwise, the physically fit, coworker, neighbor, family friend, whos got more brains than you, will wake you up, when, or if, you reailze hes parking his meater in your wifes, girlfriends, etc shack (Wake up "smart, responsible, etc man")!!!! LOL

    Go to the gym, respect, love, etc yourself. Respect, love, others. Anyone, oppressing you (Psychologically, emotionally, or infomratively) -give em the middle finger. Make these type learn, how "true" Americans do it!! (So, that they learn from theyre mistakes!)

    Maybe consider local? I do 70 hours a week and lift 3 times a week and walk on the other days. If you make exercise, good food, and SLEEP a priority then you’ll stay away from the doctor. Work on your habits and spend time with the family. OTR you could walk with a weighted vest and get a few heavy kettlebells-that’s all you need.
