[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1066761, member: 42554"] [COLOR=#0000cd] A lot of it has to do with the complete 180 we make in going from a very physical job to a job with very little physical activity. Then you factor in working nights which completely messes up your circadian rhythm. THEN you factor in that if you eat out on the road, very little in the way of healthful food is available. Also, Feeder drivers tend to much on snacks to help them stay awake: my weakness is salty chips. When I'm on nights I tend to nap during my personal time. If I'm on days I like to go on a hike but that can get a little dicey when there is a hungry bear around that might have a taste for Feeder Driver (yes we have Bears in AZ). We had a bunch of Feeder drivers go on that wacko diet that they give you the female pregnancy hormone (and stick to a 500 calorie diet). They all dropped weight but it came back pretty quick. It's extra tough for the Dispatch drivers & Back Up Feeder drivers as their schedule can change weekly or daily. Try building a workout schedule around that![/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Nice one! And the beauty of working nights is you're up during that sweet spot of 3 pm to 6 pm when the housewives are extra bored...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
