I have seen a few fellow steering wheel holders on here and would like to how y'all maintain the lifestyle? It proves difficult for me. Any driver knows that the cuisine over at the loves,pilot,or ta is subpar at best. I really want to dedicate myself but this will be my main struggle.

If your a regional or worse, OTR driver you do not have the time or access to maintain this lifestyle.
Better find local freight

I do a run and am in Florida all week. Leave home monday,back by friday most weeks. I do not wish to compete or anything. Was otr for a while but tired of that quickly and local doesnt pay much
 
I couldn't do it, there is no amount of money someone could pay me to be gone that much, not to mention it's hard to make money anymore. They ticket you for damn near everything , everything is going to electronic logs soon to monitor you so you cannot get the same mileage, it just seems like it would be pretty difficult to work out and eat healthy doing long hauls that weren't allowing you to be home much.

Then your very best bet is to maintain an average physique. By average i mean better than 90% of the current twigs or cows that frequent your neighborhood peelot.

When i was paying my dues some 10 yrs ago i was OTR and traveled all 48. Some 3000 miles a week. Didnt see home for months on end. My now wife then GF came with me. Had no kids then. We had alot of fun and i maintained my physique the best i could but lets be honest its a losing game. It could be possible on a 5 day out program but you know...get back what you put in to it.

I brought 100 lb worth of dumbbell weights and a ez curl bar. Alot of exercises can be done with that. Did dips on the bed. Lots of pushups. Hundreds at a clip. Used load bars to do pullups. Tire chains for firemans carries. Lunges. I was 1 in a million at the truck stop. Nobody did what i did. I was pretty innovative to keep SOME size i had built before i got in to moving freight. I bought a small fridge that had the DC connection. It was large enough to store a weeks worth of simple meals. That way i could avoid the shit at the rest stops. Hard boiled eggs can be made in the truck and stay for a good while. So can pasta and pretty much any carb. Can get yourself a toaster oven that runs on DC. Prep your food in aluminum bins and just throw it in. I eat 90% of my food cold. Im an animal and i dont give up. Yeah it sucks but muscle dont grow itself. Even if its cold and unappetizing you gotta do it.

You could blast hard on the weekends and do a bunch of lightweight stuff during the week to maintain. Honestly idk where juice would come in to this picture. Prolly oughta stay natty and just be fit

Good advice and similar to what ive been doing. Can't fit alot in the fridge and after driving 500 miles you know how it is. I usuall leave a note in the comment box at the truck stop saying all of them should have gyms. Currently just on trt doses and not having a problem with that. I often park at a LA fitness as well. Guess I gotta find the dedication in myself.

You a beast man. I've seen guys working out at the truck stop but snow chains for lunges? That's some real shit.

Drape em across the load bars. Lunge away.

If a small DC fridge wont cut it get you a massive ice freezer chest. You gotta keep reupping on ice every other day or so but i have a massive one i used to use that could hold almost the same as a standard fridge. I would prep a weeks worth of rice and just pick away at that for a week. Do a whole ham and zip lock it in those huge zip lock bags. Hard boiled eggs. Of course whey is probably the most convenient form of protein. By packs of water at sams to flush it out. You could buy a national membership at insertnamhere and show up to any of the locations they have. If your on the same run all the time you could prolly set it up with some reasonable sort of regularity. Hell you could become a running machine. All you need is a pair of shoes and some where to go. If you wanna make it work it can be done. But you will have to go out of your way

If Schwarzenegger could carry dumbbells in his tank, what's your excuse?

When I was OTR, I kept real food in my fridge and cooked it on a small propane camp grill. Never eat at the truck stop.
 
You solo or team? Your in Florida your taking my freight WTF? :D The only true way is local or home 2-3 nights a week. Well unless your just a bad ass like gre8twhite! You come down from ga to run our shitty Fl freight? I keep all my guys in state and home everyday. That's were the money is at IMO. Find you a decent local gig and you can make almost or as much as being gone. Not sure what your need are but $700-$1000 a week should be easy local.

Your a brave man teaming. Guess you gotta get use to trusting someone else driving while you sleep. Only 2 people ever I've trusted like that my uncle and my dad. Both with well over 2million accident free miles.

Pictures of me top one OTR
Bottom LOCAL Lol

Yeah local is where its at no doubt. If your not making at least 50k a year your with the wrong company, your lazy or you need to move ASAP. Most experienced drivers with skills in my area demand 65k and up. Home everyday blah blah blah. Still long days. Makes things difficult. But OTR is for the birds unless your running a paid for rig with your own MC #'s and your own trailer for 200-275k a year then drop that shit ASAP.
