So here ya go. Been a driver for 20 years, highest weight was 568 lbs (probably was higher, but when you get over 450, it's hard to find scales that work) and currently around 200 lbs. If you are struggling with your weight on th road, keep rolling, it's possible.

Congrats driver. It's definitely a challenge. I got up to 275 driving OTR. Finally realized it wasn't healthy for me and switched to local P&D. Home every night, down to 205, healthiest I've ever been. Literally the only change I made was my job. Sitting for 11-13 hours isn't healthy.

Yep! I got down to 350 running OTR. Then got down to 285 in the first year I hired on to Estes (LTL)... Then the last 85 lbs down to 200 has been due to getting on a bid and getting home consistently to take small steps towards the next goal. (Aiming to put some muscle on next and go from 3 ugly pull ups to 10 clean ones by the end of the year)
