Dock doors

So I’m only parked at door 319 at this Walmart. And as one of the last trucks that was finished. It felt like I was walking all the way from door 350. But I’ve been assigned at door 350 before. I would have just Bobtailed to the office, because I’m fat with bad knees and lazy. 🤣🤣

If you did more walking you might not be as fat which could feel better on the knees.
Slap on a brace and enjoy the hike.

Wait which walmart is this and why is the entire middle of the lot all dirt?

Get yourself an electric kick scooter, even a cheapie one off Amazon would be fine to get you to the office and back.

But don’t those have 250lbs-300lbs. Weight limit. I guess I better continue this weight loss journey 🤣

Meet yourself half way and get a skateboard.

I haven’t been a skateboard in over 43 years. They was just getting away from the steel wheels on skateboards 🤣

I have a gotrax xr elite, it is rated at 220 lbs I think... At my heaviest I was 370 lbs, icve dropped about 40 since I started riding it. I did eventually replace the tyres with airless ones, but the only thing that was really an issue was the battery life / range goes down drastically when you are over the weight rating.
The biggest benefit for me wasn't the exercise, and believe me it is exercise even with the motor, it is access to fresh food I can cook in my truck. I have a cooler backpack.
If you get something well made, it will be more expensive, but more durable...
I am upgrading to a Segway g3 max next time I am home.

Kind of similar. I was told to drop my empty trailer, drive around the building and hook to my load in door 28, then walk to the shipping office to pick up my paperwork. Driving to door 28 takes me right past the shipping office which was near door 9. They are kind of peculiar when it comes to following their procedures but man, every time I come here, I am tempted to park the bobtail at the office and grab my paperwork first rather than walk back to the shipping office.
