TD120: Truckers And Exercise

Ever wonder how truckers stay in shape out on the road? Well, truth be told most of them don't. But Jeremy wrote in asking how it's done. He's curious because he's thinking about truck driving as a career and doesn't want to let himself go. He asked me a bunch of questions about truckers and exercise and I do my best to answer him.

Krys bought Trucking Life and wrote in to thank me for it. I find out she's an author too. Check out her role-playing game book called Scrolls of Destiny.

Scoobie tweeted me to bring a funny video to my attention. Brad James sings a song to the tune of Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay, called Detention (You Ordered It, You Unload It). Every trucker will totally relate. LOL

Zachary writes in to find out the real rules about pre-trip and post-trip inspections.
