Weird Workout NSV

I'm a long haul truck driver that does what is called LTL (less than truckload) deliveries. So I'm at a customer yesterday and due to crossed communication lines they were unable to take their frieght off with what they had. Now in my fat lazy trucker days(about 3 months ago) i would of just went to my cab and let them figure it out. Well this time was right we'll have to move it by hand. So I started and hour later no breaks in a hot humid trailer i unloaded by hand 7 skids, 12000 lbs of 20 lbs boxes of marachino cherries. I was a mess afterwords. I was actually delivering to a monistary and they let me grab a shower just to get the sweat of me ( I was soaked, it was humid and it was about 100 degrees F inside the trailer). I decided after my shower that is was a true time for a gatorade which I cut with water and drank about 2 Litres in about an hour. After that I felt great all day just all jacked up full of energy. I think I'm going to start adding strength training to my routine beause that feeling is very addictive to me.

Great job with the workout. It is amazing how good working out actually feels!!! I need to get back into my routine. So far, just walking.

Its definitely a better feeling than what one would get after going out to eat and filling themselves up miserably with food. Its amazing the power of exercise. I try to stress to everyone I know that exercise can be an amazing cure for stress as well. WAY TO GO!!!!!

NIce read. I bet when that customer orders again they ask for you specifically to deliver the goods.

I'm also a trucker, not long distance, I'm home every night. I have been in that situation so many times when the fork lift has broken down or there are no bays or they just have no equipment at all. I always treat them the way they treat me, if it's nice i'll help them out if not i just retire to my cab and let them get on with it. :ohwell:
