Hi Timothy, having a gym membership as a OTR driver can be challenging at best. Enter "gym memberships" in the search bar above to find many discussions on the subject, such as this one:

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

The gym membership would like be a waste as you won't be able to get to them.

Some drivers carry weights and a bench and mat in their truck.

Many TAs and Petros have little fitness rooms.

Walking/jogging/stretching always an option.

Resistance bands and jump rope.

Dont weight anything and easily storable.

A fitness mat might be a good choice too.

I do resistance and “Dynamic Tension” (google Charles Atlas). This can be done as you drive. As a result, the only things harder than my muscles are my arteries
