the majority of truck drivers are fat

The problem is that society relies on trucks to function

 

[Likeicare]

Thats why you cant kill all fat people

 

[Likeicare]

Or youd just be left with indian truck drivers who are retarded

Truckers are fat largely due to their job. It requires sitting for 8-10 hours a day.

Which would be the perfect job for most of the EDiots here since they do that anyway.

Can't imagine how that's enforced. Word would get around on which doctor would let you slide.
When I was in the Army, about 30% of my unit couldn't pass a PT test. Would fail outright, but magically, when they retested two days later they passed with 90% scores. It's a joke. I imagine this happens less in combat MOS. Although medics have the most to carry on duty. All your gear and a 30 lbs aid bag. Plus, IV bags. I imagine this happens far less in infantry and Teir One units, but guys do get kicked out of those units for being out of shape.

dont quote me on this since i dont really know. i'm guessing it's done through the DMV (or state equivalent) during a DL renewal and they test if you can perform some basic tests. one story i heard the guy had to prove he could touch his toes.

Yeah that's gotta be a hard life. Your job is to sit in place for most of the day, and to help deal with boredom you eat.

can't argue with you.
especially people working for big intercity freight companies or retailers like Walmart, they have to run like crazy
in europe they are limited to 9 hours per day, in Mighty 'Murica? 11 hours in a 14 hr period, then 10 hours of "rest"

wouldn't be a UPS or Amazon driver. even for a million dollars a year. it is FUCKING hard work.

Most chairs I've seen are normal person sized

never seen a waiting room in a modern american hospital i guess?
extra-wide chairs are called "bariatric chairs"
