Hi
Truck driving is sterenuous work activity and continuous sitting job.
I suggest to do stretching exercises for full body with more emphasis on lower back and lower limbs (hamstrings , calf and quadriceps ie., thigh back and front)
Also add 2 banana daily in your diet
coconut water every week.
Both are good source of potassium helps in preventing cramps
Gatorade is good source of electrolytes but at the same time it is hypertonic drink so be careful and take it in limited quantity.
hope this would help
