Too fat or injured

Are you sure it's the Class A you don't want to do?
Or is it the long haul?
There is local/regional work for Class A. ????

On the weight. Try drinking a little over a half gallon of good filtered water a day. Add sea salt to it for it's minerals. I had no idea my body was holding onto weight (fat and water) because I was actually dehydrated. I had no idea. I started with that (and a little more) and 35 pounds just fell off me in three weeks.

EDIT: You might be interested in a thread I started on Health...the right way . It's down farther in the forum in a smaller section labeled: Health.

 

Basically.... You can use Himalayan Salt, or Sea Salt, or what they call Celtic Salt. They are all loaded with minerals. Put one teaspoon per quart. It will surprise you how much it does for you. I also add magnesium and other minerals. Also iodine.
Here's a link to my thread on health. I think you'd like it. On Health... the right way....

On the truck. A Class B truck doesn't do well on ice. Reason is the front steering wheels. There isn't enough of the weight of the truck on the front. I imagine it could be hell in NYC. Right now I'm thinking I'd rather drive a nice short trailer and day cab in the city. More maneuverable. We had a roll off tractor trailer like this. It was much more maneuverable than our other roll offs.

 

I drove a dump truck which still requires a lot of work and talk about an uncomfortable drive.In the construction field it doesn't matter what kind of driving you do its not as easy as you may think.

 

Dump truck you don't need an endorsement and requires a B cdl.If you have a class A you can't just pick what you wanna drive your performance depends a lot on what your boss prefers you to drive.

 

If you apply for a certain job. They hire you. Then try to switch the job. I'd just walk out. You accepted what you applied for. The End.
Please do drive what you're comfortable with.

 

Got some bad news for you... a job that requires nothing more than sitting on your ### all day and doing nothing will only make you fatter. Promise you that you won't be able to even see your #### feet within 1 year if you start driving and don't get a labor intensive job.

As for a bum leg, don't really wanna hear it. Watched a one legged man scale a 14' load of lumber in Oregon and tarp that ####. One leg and couldn't have been but 4'11". I #### you not. No idea what people's excuses are.

I've watched scrawny women tarp loads -20.
