    Jesus man.....I absolutely judge them! Just like any other person with an insane addiction! Good friggin grief man!! Judge away!!! Or you are nothing but and enabling unrealistic softy! Who even manufacturers jean shorts that big! My entire family and probably my 4 dogs could all get in those! If I was a dictator leader I would snatch them up and put them in a boot camp deep in the woods! They SHOULD NOT be in a vehicle! Any vehicle!

    Have we really fallen so low that the new standard is just to be happy that they’re working? If they won’t have any standards for themselves, then their employers should.

    Holy hell this is one of my pet peeves. The guy from the original post should be on a weekly med card renewal.

    Let me start with I’m 50yrs old, 6’5”, and 280lbs only 20lbs more than the dwayne “the rock” johnson. I’m getting up at 0300 every day to lift and run 10K so as to not have to go on a 3 month med card in August. I’ve lost 70lbs and the drs are still saying I’m still overweight by 70lbs.
    These CB med cards people in truck stops need to be shut down. I have no sympathy for anyone who looses their med card because they like to eat.

    rant complete

    These extremely obese individuals probably need to be pulled from their jobs and sent to both a hospital and weight loss clinic, to save their lives. That kind of weight is a serious tragedy waiting to happen.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    I renewed my health card in the spring of 2024, my cdl was up for renewal a few weeks latter, after filling out the forms, and nurse taking my weight, height, etc., the doc came into the room about 10 min after the nurse cleared out, with all his portion filled out, and my new health card handed to me. I was not employed at the time, and decided to let my CDL downgrade to a regular TX drivers license. I do miss driving at times, being retired, there are days I feel ‘totally lost’.
