We had a friend who did the dumb bell thing. he would lay on the bunk,with his legs running up the back wall, with his head over the edge ( aimed at the shifter) and run his arch from the floor to the bed next to him. from the looks of his arms and washboard abs ( and YES, I did look), his system musta been doin' something right. We had an O/O friend who hung a small punching bag in his truck...he said it was great for stress relief...lol

hahaha never thought of a punching bag, well i'm going to grab the dumbbells for sure either way so I'll try your friends method and see how it works out for me. Have to get creative out here on the road
You can also look into those resistance bands. I've never owned them, but they'd probably be great for a truck. They weigh very little, they pack away nicely, and they're really versatile. I had dumbbells with me when I drove but I didn't even know about resistance bands at the time. I would look into those.
Ohhhh....I forgot about the mega rubber bands !!!! They give those to you when you have to go thru physical therapy....and they are wonderful !!! I'm sure you can get them at any "body shop"...They come in different pull strengths....

I've always liked to stay pretty fit and after 6some months of driving i'm getting to skinny for my likes. I switched from a 386 pete to a freightliner and with the extra space I was thinking about getting a small foldaway bench and some dumbbells to bring with me on the truck. It's just kind of awkward getting into a decent pushup position, I mean i've done it and it works haha, but what are your thoughts on being able to fit a small bench in between the shifter and the bunk? Hahaha does this sound crazy?
