What garbage.. My sister is a 27 year old day-care operator. She just had her gall bladder removed.

I know dozens of older gentleman who have been trucking all their lives and don’t have any problems. Equating truck driving with poor health is stupid.

It’s a stereotype that got established 50 years ago. Back then, truckdrivers were known to have chronic kidney problems from the constant vibration and bumps and jolts from the road and the motor. They were also known to have very strong arms from driving those big trucks without powersteering.

Funny how those old saws stick around for so long after they are no longer true anymore.
