It was 7am on August 29th when the Fit For The Road 5K started. The event was held at the Great American Trucking Show at Fir Park in Dallas Texas. As it is in Dallas in August, race organizers worried about the heat and the health of those participating in the 5K. A welcome surprise, as it turns out the race started with a bit of rain that trickeled over the participants, cooling the dozens off early to start.

One of the largest truck load carriers Schneider recently posted a couple articles from driver JD Simpson. JD started his journey in 2013 when he met his fiance.
" We were talking one day and she said, “I want you to be around for a long time. You need to get healthy.” That flipped the light switch. I had found a diet that really worked for me and by early 2014, I had lost a lot of weight."
While some people may find JD's diet a bit extreme, he got the results that he was looking for. The article is posted in two parts.
