It does not matter where you leave the truck. There is always at least a minimal risk involved when leaving a truck unattended. Some places are safer than others.

There are some workouts you can do in and or around the truck. Some types of sit-ups or push-ups. A drop cloth is good to have; you can put it under you outside the truck and do various different routines.

You can also run or walk laps around the truck stop; weather permitting, or if it is a reasonably safe area, you can walk, jog or run the roads around the truck stop.

Just a few ideas for you, and remember, Jesus loves you.
