TRUCKERS' LIFE * USA: The Dancing Trucker
* Ohio - He's a 6-ft-.7-in. (2 m) height, and a 350-lb. (159 kgs) weight, truck driver – And yes, he's dancing
(Video by John Drury - Aug 5, 2012: Class Dance by the trucking Big Johns)
-- Not all it's to drive a truck, as you can see in the above video... "Big John" Drury is dancing his way to health, and doesn't care who knows it. He's on a mission to help other drivers lose weight and get healthy by dancing anywhere he can, even in the middle of truck stops... "There's no shame in my game," he says. "I'm on a mission. I'm not afraid to get out there and dance and be an inspiration to other truck drivers who want to lose weight." Although he encourages other drivers to join in at truck stops, he rarely gets any takers willing to strut their stuff in public. "Truck drivers are very nice people. They’ll talk to me all day and we get along, but they don't want to dance in public… but I keep trying" ... He posts many of his truck stop dance sessions on social media where they were spotted by representatives of Progressive Commercial Lines who asked him to be the campaign spokesperson for their Health Awareness Program that debuted at The Great American Trucking Show in Dallas. Drury and back-up dancers performed his unique steps for the crowd... He adds that when he lost the 100 pounds he was working for an LTL that kept him out two or three nights at a time. One of his tricks was to walk while he was backed at a dock... And he's happy !!!
