you do know that being seated for long periods of time is tremendously unhealthy, right? It's also a stressful environment with a lot of unhealthy road food options. I don't imagine truckers living a very healthy lifestyle, but that could just be my own internal biases showing.

- riffic 5y agoYou got me there.
- goldenkey 5y agoCan we be literate here? Smoking might not increase one's physique like physical labor -- but it still puts demands on your lungs, heart, and the rest of your body. The same thing goes with sitting for prolonged periods of time. On the same note, the people in Mr. Beast's videos who had to keep their hand touching something for as long as possible (1 million dollars, or a sports car, etc.) literally have to sign waivers because of the bodily harm that kind of "hahaha" stuff can cause if an individual pushes it too far.
- bagacrap 5y agoBy this definition, where either sitting or exercising or breathing is demanding, what is not demanding? I think unhealthy or uncomfortable would have been a better choice of words.
- riffic 5y agoI googled "Is truck driving physically demanding" and the overwhelming consensus by industry writers is, yes, it is demanding physically. I stand by my original statement and invite you to read the concerns yourself: https://www.google.com/search?q=is+truck+driving+physically+demanding https://www.google.com/search?q=is+truck+driving+physically+...

Trucking is a terrible job for a multitude of reasons and we should be very thankful to those who do it. Some of the jobs can be physically demanding, but overall it's known as a very sedentary job and the type of trucking that Walmart does is in that category.
