My two cents....I'm obese and I have held a job for over 28 years. I'm a municipal truck driver and weigh 330 lbs at age 47. I had a boss who didn't like me and moved me to a job on the back of a rubbish truck back in 04. I had a minor back injury after two months. I tried to return to work after a week and they played games for 6 months, then fired me for not being able to do my job. I fought it for about 14 months, then they settled providing that I could pass certain tests. I passed everyone and have been back since july 06. I've lost 120 lbs at one time, but unfortunately gained it back. I drive anything from 10 wheel trucks to little sidewalk tractors. Anything I can fit in, I can drive
