AND FINALLY...
OBESITY IS A huge burden on the NHS and your truck’s suspension, judging by the results of a survey by supermarket Morrisons. While 22% of the general population is obese or morbidly obese, the poll found that 28% of LGV drivers are more lard than lean. It added that 41% worry about their health, 22% would like to be healthier, and 34% said being on the road makes this an impossible task.
Seemingly by coincidence, Morrisons has also launched a NuMe range of healthier foods and is soon to be hauling itself out on the road to a service area near you as part of its ‘truckstop takeovers’.
‘Weigh-by’ (geddit?) health check clinics are involved, with a health MoT on offer for concerned tubby truckers.
