Who's ready for a road trip? The world's fittest truck driver is checking in with us from the cab of his truck in Liberal, Kansas, where he was waiting to pick up a load of beef.

We first met Siphiwe Baleka at the U.S. Masters Swimming Spring Nationals in Arizona, where he picked up two national championships -- 20 years after he last competed.

In this GB Webchat, we connect with Siphiwe via Skype and find out what kind of response he's received following our story.

Plus, find out about his new fitness passion -- triathlons -- and encourages others, particularly truckers, find ways to fit fitness into their busy lives.
